Secondly, Sharpe contends that whilst late-colonial French cinema cannot be seen as a coherent cinematic movement, school of filmmaking, or genre, it can be seen as a coherent ethical trend, with many of the fifteen central case studies explored in Late-colonial French Cinema filtering the Algerian War of Independence through a discourse of 'redemptive pacifism'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mani Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474414222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474414227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Mani Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120782471423,"sku":"9781474414227","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_418071a2-034e-4fd7-b0f7-7e09eb933a67.jpg?v=1687416250","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-colonial-french-cinema-mani-sharpe-9781474414227","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
