Your dissertation sounds fantastic, and, from my understanding of the field, much needed.
Thank you so much! My work fits in the new and growing field of settler colonial studies, so there’s still much to explore and understand. It also situates Indigenous Studies, as well as American and Algerian history in a broader context, one that I hope will inspire new perspectives on each. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks, and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I would love to use this blog to spark interesting discussions around the topics I explore here.
I might be beaintg a dead horse, but thank you for posting this!
I may say that I am working in the opposite direction, although I am not a historian. But, how are you going to explore the “indigenous” views apart from the use of historical-bibliographical data (text and hypertext)? Although my PhD was on the Algerian communities in northern and southern Europe, I am currently reading literature on American philosophy and African-American studies because I think there are some parallels (with obvious differences) with the suffering of Algerians during the cruel and ferocious French colonization and their current experiences in the West.
