Like the classic film \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Algiers\u003c\/i\u003e--enjoying renewed interest in the face of world events--Djebar's novel sheds light on current world conflicts as it reveals a determined Arab insurgency against foreign occupation, from the inside out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, Djebar focuses on the experiences of women drawn into the politics of resistance. Her novel recounts the interlocking lives of women in a rural Algerian town who find themselves joined in solidarity and empower each other to engage in the fight for independence. Narrating the resistance movement from a variety of perspectives--from those of traditional wives to liberated students to political organizers--Djebar powerfully depicts the circumstances that drive oppressed communities to violence and at the same time movingly reveals the tragic costs of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Assia Djebar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558615105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558615106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/31\/2005 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2005 pg. 1202\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2005 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2006 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2005","brand":"Assia Djebar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986958385407,"sku":"9781558615106","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3a803ed-4415-4940-95ec-061c7891ed4c.jpg?v=1683286165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/children-of-the-new-world-assia-djebar-9781558615106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
