Randau, Robert (pseud. of Robert Arnaud) (1873-1950). French Algerian novelist. In works such as Les Colons (1907) and Les Algérianistes (1911) he presented European colonists as a vigorous antidote to the decadence of metropolitan France. He was seen by many in colonial Algeria as the archetype of a literary school unique to North Africa.
