Colonial subjects and the right to have rights: Algeria, 1834

This presentation, a chapter from Professor Charles Kurzman's current book project, examines the public debate over what rights, if any, Algerians would have under French occupation, featuring a French general urging his country to do to the Algerians what the United States had done to Native Americans, and an Algerian representative urging France to obey the Law of Nations and make Algerians French citizens if it was not going to grant them independence.
