Reviews

Asseraf provides a wealth of new perspectives on information, engagement and resistance in colonial Algeria, and opens new lines of enquiry for scholars of news and media in North Africa and elsewhere. * Charlotte Ann Legg, Journal of North African Studies *


Overall, though, Asseraf's Electric News is an exciting and engaging study that analyzes print and other forms of communication during the colonial period. Asseraf complicates the exchanges between colonizers and the colonized and suggests how empire functioned at the ground level. It is a joyfully written book, abound with lush imagery and engaging stories, a serious academic study but without losing its human touch. * Jack A W Bowman, University of Warwick, H-Socialisms * Asseraf provides a wealth of new perspectives on information, engagement and resistance in colonial Algeria, and opens new lines of enquiry for scholars of news and media in North Africa and elsewhere. * Charlotte Ann Legg, Journal of North African Studies *
