Barbary(an) Invasions: The North African Figure in Republican Print Culture

The article examines how North Africans and the so-called "Barbary" peoples were represented in American print culture during the Early Republic period. It explores newspapers, political writings, travel narratives, and literary texts to show how images of North Africa were used to shape American ideas about national identity, citizenship, race, religion, and foreign policy. The term "Barbary(an)" refers to the populations associated with the Barbary Coast (modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya), which became significant in American political discourse during the conflicts known as the Barbary Wars.
