Bøker av Spencer D. Segalla

Spencer D. Segalla examines natural and anthropogenic disasters during the years of decolonization in Algeria, Morocco, and France and explores how environmental catastrophes impacted the dissolution of France's empire in North Africa.

Following the French conquest of Morocco in 1911 the French established a network of colonial schools for Moroccan Muslims designed to further the agendas of the conquerors. This book examines the history of the French educational system in colonial Morocco, the development of French conceptions about the ""Moroccan soul,"" and the effect these ideas had on pedagogy, policy making, and politics.
