Charles-André Julien was born in Caen, northern France and emigrated with his family toAlgeria(then under French occupation) at the age of 15, where he picked up an interest in the history of the region. Julien's History of North Africa served as the standard reference work on the subject for decades. His political commitments and specialized knowledge of North Africa contributed to his place on the Popular Front's Haut Comité méditerranéen et de l'Afrique du Nord from 1936 to 1939 and election to the Council of theFrench Unionfrom 1946-1958. Julien opposed French colonialism, arguing that political rights should be extended to colonized subjects.[5]
