EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "French school in Kabylie, 1891" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an interior view of a French school located in Kabylie, Algeria during the late 19th century. The scene is filled with young Algerian students, both boys and girls, attentively seated at their desks while being taught by their French teacher. The classroom walls are adorned with educational posters that reflect the colonial influence on education in North Africa. This print provides a glimpse into the complex dynamics of colonization and cultural assimilation during this time period. It highlights the efforts made by France to establish schools within its colonies as a means of spreading French language and culture among indigenous populations. The diversity within the classroom is evident through the presence of Muslim students alongside their African counterparts. This image serves as a reminder of how education became an instrument for shaping societal norms and values under colonial rule. Through this engraving, we witness not only the physical space where knowledge was imparted but also gain insight into the aspirations held by both teachers and pupils alike. It represents an important historical artifact that sheds light on the complexities surrounding education, identity, and power dynamics between colonizers and colonized peoples in North Africa during this era.
