It considers the constantly shifting balance of power between different groups in Algeria and how these have been used to re-fashion colonial relationships. Turning to the postcolonial period, the book explores the challenges Algerians have faced as they have sought to forge an identity as an independent postcolonial nation and how has this process been represented. The roles played by memory and forgetting are highlighted as part of the ongoing efforts by both Algeria and France to grapple with the complex legacies of their prolonged and tumultuous relationship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis interdisciplinary volume sheds light on these and other issues, offering new insights into the history, politics, society and culture of modern Algeria and its historical relationship with France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rabah Aissaoui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474221033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474221030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Rabah Aissaoui","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540557492479,"sku":"9781474221030","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7bf5783-698e-43e4-a5b5-6e6aabcac76a.jpg?v=1700588574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/algeria-revisited-rabah-aissaoui-9781474221030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
