AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A fascinating illustrated edition of this work, which falls within the ethnographic and colonial tradition of the interwar period, seeking to present metropolitan readers with a gallery of portraits and scenes of daily life in Algeria.

The book combines textual descriptions and illustrations to highlight human "types" — representative figures of the different local communities — and social, clothing and religious customs, from both a documentary and picturesque perspective.

The tone is marked by exoticism and orientalism, valuing the diversity of practices and traditions while inserting them into a colonial framework that tends to freeze them into folkloric images.
