Critical commentary highlights the work’s depth, its cross-disciplinary sources, and its value for courses on Maghreb history, colonial intellectual history, and world-history perspectives on imperialism.","\"Iaorcin's study of the fornulation and manipulation of imperial identities is a master-picce of the genre and makes a signiicant contribution to Algerian history,to ninctcenth-century

magisterial study,had becomea serious obstacle to the analysis of political life in independent Algeria by thetime I started to take an interest in the country in the early 197os.The discredit-ing of French writings about the Kabyles as \"myth\"rendered the investigationof Kabyle participation in national politics—and especially of local politics inthe Kabylia region—exceptionally delicate and dificult,beset with all kindsof pitfalls.This was not because the regime was engaged in repression or evenactive discrimination against Algeria's Berber populations in the economic andpolitical spheres,as is sometimes suggested.On the contrary,it was not onlycareful to include Berbers in high ofice in almost exact proportion to theirpercentages of the total population but was also extremely sensitive to the stateof opinion in the Berber regions—Kabylia and the Aures especially—and wasactively engaged in a strategy ofintegrating the populations of these regions intothe Algerian national community.The first two milayit(governorates)to beneitfrom special development programsin the late 196os were Tizi Ouzou(GreaterKabylia)and
