Chronicling the forgotten history of Europe's early Muslim communities across the continent, this book reconceptualizes the "age of empire" through the interconnected lives of imperialists, journalists, and Muslim activists who attempted to establish a place for Islam in European society.

Focuses on nineteenth-century France and Algeria and examines the role that ideas of modernity and modernization played in both national and colonial programs during the years of the Second Empire and the early Third Republic. Gavin Murray-Miller rethinks the subject by examining the idiomatic use of modernity in French cultural and political discourse.
