Abstract

Horse racing was the first modern sporting practice in colonial Algeria (1830-1962). French cavalry officers encouraged the participation of indigenous elites as a means of inculcating values deemed to be favorable to the colonial project. This article proposes a discourse analysis of two race meetings in September 1852 with a view to establishing the institutional and ideological parameters of the process of sporting diffusion in the colonized territory.
