Danielle Beaujon is a Bridge-to-Faculty Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the department of Criminology, Law and Justice. Danielle is a historian with broad research interests in policing, race, and power in a global context.
Her book project, “Criminalizing the Casbah: Policing North Africans in Marseille and Algiers, 1918-1954” explores the intimate and oppositional relationship of police officers and North Africans in a connected Franco-Mediterranean world. Building on the quantitative research displayed here, the book uses in-depth qualitative archival research to demonstrate how the racialized policing of North Africans in Marseille and Algiers built not just on visual codes of race, but on the way that police practice mapped ideas of race onto the space of the city.
