| Popis: | Abstract: This study aims to highlight the image of Emir Abdelkader in the writings of others, through the book “The Life of the Prince” by Henry Churchill, in which the author explores the details of the life of Emir Abdelkader, and recounts different details of his struggle during the resistance against French colonialism, after his surrender and moving to his voluntary exile, where he stayed there for the end of his life.In addition to providing an overview of the difference in the form of the portrayal of Emir Abdelkader between what is contained in this book and some French colonialist writings. We found that the author presented a more objective picture of the Emir's personality, closer to the reality of objective historical details, and away from the fanaticism of French writers governed by their colonialist inclination. Therefore, this work poses a fundamental question: How was Emir Abdelkader portrayed through his biography in the book The Prince's Life by Henry Churchill? What was the image of Algerians in the shadow of the Emir's life and biographical details during and after the resistance against French colonialism? Keywords: Emir Abdelkader; Henry Churchill; Surrealism; Biography; Colonial Ideology. |
