Mobilizing Memory
Over the course of the Great War, a quarter of million settlers and subjects from Algeria served in French forces. Thousands more crossed the Mediterranean to work in the war industries of metropolitan France.

Mobilising Memory is the first study to explore how the mass mobilisation of Algerian society during the First World War transformed politics in the colony. It asks how actors across the colony's racial, ideological, and class divides sought to legitimise their competing visions for Algeria's future by evoking their wartime service. Wi...

The Future Is Feminist
The Future Is Feminist by Sara Rahnama offers a closer look at a pivotal moment in Algerian history when Algerians looked to feminism as a path out of the stifling realities of French colonial rule. Algerian people focused outward to developments in the Middle East, looking critically at their own society and with new eyes to Islamic tradition. In doing so, they reordered the world on their own terms—pushing back against French colonial claims about Islam's inherent misogyny. Rahnama describes how Algerians took inspiration from Middle Eastern developments in women's rights. Empowered by the Muslim reform movement sweeping the region, they read Islamic knowledge with new eyes, even calling...

The Irish Grand National
The pinnacle of the Irish racing calendar, the Powers Irish Grand National encompasses all that is great =about the Irish passion for the sport. Run for the first time in 1870, and won by Sir Robert Peel, the National quickly established itself as Ireland's most valuable steeplechase and since then each success has had its own enchanting story. Featuring runners and riders from yesteryear such as Arkle and Pat Taaffe, who have since become part of Irish racing folklore, this chronicle of the race brings the story up to the present day, with the modern heroes such as Bobbyjo and Paul Carberry demonstrating the achievements of Irish born and bred owners, trainers, jockeys, and horses who will all leave their mark on the sport. Lavishly illustrated in full color, with photography by Pat Heeley, the official race photographer, this is a celebration of the Irish love of the sport and the Easter event that captivates the hearts and minds of all those on the Emerald Isle.

Histoire de l'Algérie et de ses mémoires
Est-il possible de parler de l’histoire de l’Algérie des origines à nos jours en France de manière impartiale sans que cela suscite polémiques, diatribes et anathèmes ? Tel est le but que s’est fixé l’historien Emmanuel Alcaraz. Dans une approche originale, il offre une synthèse limpide et éclairante sur cette histoire qui continue de miner le présent des sociétés françaises et algériennes. De Jugurtha luttant contre Rome à la conquête arabe, des corsaires d’Alger à la colonisation française, de la guerre d’Algérie à la guerre civile algérienne dans les années 1990 en allant jusqu’au hirak, Emmanuel Alcaraz revisite chaque étape de ce riche passé en utili...
