Infos

This book analyses representations of the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62) in the literary output of French authors of Algerian origin, problematising the extent to which these literary ‘sites of memory’ provide appropriate spaces of consensus for hitherto competing memories of the war.

Autor

Academics and students who are interested in Francophone Postcolonial Studies, representations of the Algerian War, literature and memory, the afterlives of empire, decolonization and immigration.
