Walls Of Algiers
Examines the historical processes that transformed Ottoman Algiers, the 'Bulwark of Islam', into 'Alger la blanche', the colonial urban showpiece - and, after the outbreak of revolution in 1954 - counter-model of France's global empire. This title presents a multifaceted look at the social use of urban space in a North African city.
