Book excerpt: Guerre d’indépendance, conflits de mémoire et séquelles postcoloniales, guerre civile algérienne, luttes intestines... des deux côtés de la Méditerranée les effets des combats n’en finissent pas, comme les répliques des tremblements de terre. Les rapports entre l’Algérie et la France sont ensanglantés, passionnés, obsédants, durablement marqués par une conflictuelle proximité. À distance des passions partisanes, froide par méthode, l’histoire de ces relations tourmentées s’écrit néanmoins à chaud et l’exercice est parfois périlleux. Un jour de juin 1995, Benjamin Stora reçoit des menaces et un petit cercueil en bois dans une grande enveloppe beige... Entre étude historique et témoignage personnel, ce livre singulier, jalonné par des rencontres avec quelques personnages clés, associe une réflexion sur l’écriture de l’histoire et l’engagement de l’historien à une analyse profondément originale des rapports entre la France et l’Algérie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous n'écrirons pas la même histoire. Le passé n'est retenu que pour ce qu'il donne sens à l'expérience, solitaire ou collective. Deux peuples en guerre ne feront pas le même récit une fois la paix conclue.?Guerre de libération nationale en Algérie, guerre d'Algérie en France, les sept ans de conflit ne portent pas le même nom, ne présentent pas les mêmes enjeux ni les mêmes épisodes cruciaux. Résultat d'une rencontre entre spécialistes français et algériens, les études réunies dans ce volume se placent à l'articulation entre histoire et littérature. Elles explorent les mises en récit diverses et encore concurrentes qui s'opèrent autour de dates mémorables et de figures devenues emblématiques. Elles observent les effets du passage du temps sur l'élaboration des souvenirs et le travail de l'écriture. Confrontation qui interdit d'éluder la complexité des engagements et des expériences vécus, l'intrication des souffrances subies, la multiplicité des attentes de reconnaissance et de réparation symboliques.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Algeria written by Phillip C. Naylor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria’s strategic regional and global importance continues to grow. Its hydrocarbon wealth, namely natural gas and oil, is impressive and its receipts are crucial to the national economy. The European Union is a particularly valued hydrocarbon importer and overall commercial partner. The bilateral relationship with France remains problematic and paradoxical. Algeria has demanded an apology for the imposition of colonialism; but it also recognizes the importance of France economically, politically, and militarily, e.g., the unrest in the Sahel (notably Mali). Furthermore, Algeria continues to recover from its recent, tragic civil strife characterized by terrorism and extremism. Its uncertain future, given its ageing leadership, rentier economy, and frustrated youth, is a critical concern. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Algeria covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Algeria.
Download or read book Frantz Fanon written by David Macey and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Martinique, Frantz Fanon (1925–61) trained as a psychiatrist in Lyon before taking up a post in colonial Algeria. He had already experienced racism as a volunteer in the Free French Army, in which he saw combat at the end of the Second World War. In Algeria, Fanon came into contact with the Front de Libération Nationale, whose ruthless struggle for independence was met with exceptional violence from the French forces. He identified closely with the liberation movement, and his political sympathies eventually forced him out the country, whereupon he became a propagandist and ambassador for the FLN, as well as a seminal anticolonial theorist. David Macey’s eloquent life of Fanon provides a comprehensive account of a complex individual’s personal, intellectual and political development. It is also a richly detailed depiction of postwar French culture. Fanon is revealed as a flawed and passionate humanist deeply committed to eradicating colonialism. Now updated with new historical material, Frantz Fanon remains the definitive biography of a truly revolutionary thinker.
Download or read book Uncivil War written by James D. Le Sueur and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncivil War is a provocative study of the intellectuals who confronted the loss of France’s most prized overseas possession: colonial Algeria. Tracing the intellectual history of one of the most violent and pivotal wars of European decolonization, James D. Le Sueur illustrates how key figures such as Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Germaine Tillion, Jacques Soustelle, Raymond Aron, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Albert Memmi, Frantz Fanon, Mouloud Feraoun, Jean Amrouche, and Pierre Bourdieu agonized over the “Algerian question.” As Le Sueur argues, these individuals and others forged new notions of the nation and nationalism, giving rise to a politics of identity that continues to influence debate around the world. This edition features an important new chapter on the intellectual responses to the recent torture debates in France, the civil war in Algeria, and terrorism since September 11.

Download or read book Algerian War and the French Army 1954 62 written by Martin S. Alexander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-08-21 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Algerian War 1954-62 was one of the most prolonged and violent examples of decolonization. At times horribly savage, it was an undeclared war in the sense that no formal declaration of hostilities was ever made. Bringing to an end one hundred and thirty two years of French rule, the Algerian struggle caused the fall of six French prime ministers, the collapse of the Fourth Republic and expulsion of one million French settlers. This volume, bringing together leading experts in the field, focuses on one of the key actors in the drama - the French army. They show that the Algerian War was just as much about conflicts of ideas, beliefs and loyalties as it was about simple military operations. In this way, the collection goes beyond polemic and recrimination to explore the many and varied nuances of what was one of the historically most important of the grand style colonial wars.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of French History written by David Andress and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed firmly at the student reader, this handbook offers an overview of the full range of the history of France, from the origins of the concept of post-Roman "Francia," through the emergence of a consolidated French monarchy and the development of both nation-state and global empire into the modern era, forward to the current complexities of a modern republic integrated into the European Union and struggling with the global legacies of its past. Short, incisive contributions by a wide range of expert scholars offer both a spine of chronological overviews and a diverse spectrum of up-to-date insights into areas of key interest to historians today. From the ravages of the Vikings to the role of gastronomy in the definition of French culture, from Caribbean slavery to the place of Algerians in present-day France, from the role of French queens in medieval diplomacy to the youth-culture explosion of the 1960s and the explosions of France’s nuclear weapons program, this handbook provides accessible summaries and selected further reading to explore any and all of these issues further, in the classroom and beyond.
Download or read book From empire to exile written by Claire Eldridge and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the commemorative afterlives of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62), one of the world's most iconic wars of decolonisation. It focuses on the million French settlers - pieds-noirs - and the tens of thousands of harkis - the French army's native auxiliaries - who felt compelled to migrate to France when colonial rule ended. Challenging the idea that Algeria was a 'forgotten' war that only returned to French public attention in the 1990s, this study reveals a dynamic picture of memory activism undertaken continuously since 1962 by grassroots communities connected to this conflict. Reconceptualising the ways in which the Algerian War has been debated, evaluated and commemorated in the subsequent five decades, From empire to exile makes an original contribution to important discussions surrounding the contentious issues of memory, migration and empire in contemporary France that will appeal to students and scholars of history and cultural studies.

Download or read book The Lives of Michel Foucault written by David Macey and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic biography of the radical French philosopher with a new afterword by acclaimed Foucault scholar Stuart Elden. When he died of an AIDS-related condition in 1984, Michel Foucault had become the most influential French philosopher since the end of World War II. His powerful studies of the creation of modern medicine, prisons, psychiatry, and other methods of classification have had a lasting impact on philosophers, historians, critics, and novelists the world over. But as public as he was in his militant campaigns on behalf of prisoners, dissidents, and homosexuals, he shrouded his personal life in mystery. In The Lives of Michel Foucault -- written with the full cooperation of Daniel Defert, Foucault's former lover -- David Macey gives the richest account to date of Foucault's life and work, informed as it is by the complex issues arising from his writings. In this new edition, Foucault scholar Stuart Elden has contributed a new afterword assessing the contribution of the biography in the light of more recent literature.

Download or read book The Legacy of the French Revolutionary Wars written by Alan Forrest and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to the study of collective identity and memory in France, this book examines a French republican myth: the belief that the nation can be adequately defended only by its own citizens, in the manner of the French revolutionaries of 1793. Alan Forrest examines the image of the citizen army reflected in political speeches, school textbooks, art and literature across the nineteenth century. He reveals that the image appealed to notions of equality and social justice, and with time it expanded to incorporate Napoleon's victorious legions, the partisans who repelled the German invader in 1814 and the people of Paris who rose in arms to defend the Republic in 1870. More recently it has risked being marginalized by military technology and by the realities of colonial warfare, but its influence can still be seen in the propaganda of the Great War and of the French Resistance under Vichy.
Download or read book Jean Francois Lyotard written by Jean-Francois Lyotard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-François Lyotard (1924-1998) was one of the most important French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. His impact has been felt across many disciplines: sociology; cultural studies; art theory and politics. This volume presents a diverse selection of interviews, conversations and debates which relate to the five decades of his working life, both as a political militant, experimental philosopher and teacher. Including hard-to-find interviews and previously untranslated material, this is the first time that interviews with Lyotard have been presented as a collection. Key concepts from Lyotard's thought – the differend, the postmodern, the immaterial – are debated and discussed across different time periods, prompted by specific contexts and provocations. In addition there are debates with other thinkers, including Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, which may be less familiar to an Anglophone audience. These debates and interviews help to contextualise Lyotard, highlighting the importance of Marx, Freud, Kant and Wittgenstein, in addition to the Jewish thought which accompanies the questions of silence, justice and presence that pervades Lyotard's thinking.
