Writing French Algeria

By Peter Dunwoodie

Writing French Algeria is a groundbreaking study of the European literary discourse on French Algeria between the conquest of 1830 and the outbreak of the Algerian War in 1954. For the first time in English, this intertextual reading reveals the debate conducted within Algeria--and between colony and metropole--that aimed to forge an independent cultural identity for the European settlers.
