Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : From the outset of colonization in Algeria (1830), hierarchical categories developed in the metropole (“race”, gender and class) were used and enriched in Algeria under the aegis, in particular, of the doctors who were at the vanguard both of Enlightenment ideals and a belief in racial and sexual inequality.

From the outset of colonization in Algeria (1830), hierarchical categories developed in the metropole (“race”, gender and class) were used and enriched in Algeria under the aegis, in particular, of the doctors who were at the vanguard both of Enlightenment ideals and a belief in racial and sexual inequality. This article shows how sexuality, which operates paradoxically through a double movement of attraction and repulsion, intervened to shed light on and strengthen the articulation between gender and “race” and their naturalization.
