But even in Paris, as we shall see later, a limited Arab milieu was already in existence, in addition to a network of French officials who had served in the occupation of Egypt.

But this brings us to a major difference that these people would have to negotiate: It was only three years after the revolutionary settlement of when the Directory sent an army into Egypt to install the French Republic and its radical principles on the farther shore of the Mediterranean.

In the same year, they sent an army to Ireland: But the principles with which they set out were nonetheless the same: In Egypt, and to a lesser extent in Palestine, brought a great rupture with the deeply corporate and traditional nature of Ottoman society, just as had done in France. Just as in Europe, these ideas attracted some and repelled others.

At least some part of the emigration of must be attributed to the effects of these ideas. And those who saw France through such a lens must have received a very sharp shock when they arrived in Marseille in The Revolution was over. Napoleon, it seemed, had departed Egypt eager to seize in France the kind of absolute power he had exercised in Cairo.

The "refugees from Egypt" would have to make a swift and radical change of mentality from one system of power to another, just as they had done when the French took power in Cairo in The loss of Egypt that gave rise to this emigration was quite a serious shock to the confidence of postrevolutionary France.

It was extremely reassuring, then, to insist that France had snatched a cultural and intellectual victory from the jaws of defeat. The images contained in the work themselves filled several volumes in elephant folio: One of these portraits shows a young man designated only as "an inhabitant of Damascus": The young man's dark headwear distinguishes him, probably as a Christian, from the exclusively white-turbaned Muslims.

His Ottoman clothing is modest and unornamented, yet elegant and voluminous enough to denote at least a middling degree of wealth. The nargileh, or water pipe, he is smoking also draws a certain contrast with the cheaper clay chibouk pipe of most Egyptians: He is beardless, in contrast to the other figures appearing in vignettes collected on the same page-ranging from a street violin player to a Muslim shaykh -but his bushy moustache nonetheless distinguishes him from the largely clean-shaven French.

The caption informs us that his young man is an "inhabitant of Damascus," so his presence in Egypt is already a matter of change and mobility.

In the picture, his raised right knee and left hand suggest a certain tension, a latent movement despite his attitude of repose. His wide gaze is directed at a point in the distance, with the slightly furrowed brow giving a pensiveness to his expression. Whether this portrait was sketched in Egypt, or in the later period when the Description was prepared for publication in Paris, it seems probable that the sitter was among those who joined the emigration of Based on research in neglected archives, on the rediscovery of forgotten Franco-Arab authors, and on a diverse collection of visual materials, the book builds a rich picture of the first Arab France—its birth, rise, and sudden decline in the age of colonial expansion.

As he excavates a community that was nearly erased from the historical record, Coller offers a new account of France itself in this pivotal period, one that transcends the binary framework through which we too often view history by revealing the deep roots of exchange between Europe and the Muslim world, and showing how Arab France was in fact integral to the dawn of modernity.

A painter, he continued, would want to capture at once the group as a whole, and the details of the different moral sentiments that animated the onlookers. About the Book Many think of Muslims in Europe as a twentieth century phenomenon, but this book brings to life a lost community of Arabs who lived through war, revolution, and empire in early nineteenth century France.
