It combines historical inquiry with literary analysis in order to examine the ways in which Camus's concept of revolt -- in his novels, journalistic writing, and philosophical essays -- reverberates in productions pertaining to that war. Following an examination of Sartre's and Camus's debate over revolution and violence, one that in another iteration asks whether FLN-sponsored terrorism was justified, \u003ci\u003eThe Algerian War Retold\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers how today's writers have adopted paradigms common to both Sartre's and Camus's oeuvres when seeking to break the silence and influence France's national narrative. In the end, it attempts to answer the critical questions raised by literary acts of violence, including whether Camusian ethics ultimately lead to justice for the Other in revolt. These questions are particularly poignant in view of recent presidential declarations in response to years of active pressure applied by associations and other citizens' groups, prompting the French government to acknowledge the state's abandonment of the \u003ci\u003eharkis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003econdemn the repression of peaceful protest, and recognize the French army's systematic use of torture in Algeria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meaghan Emery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032239247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032239248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Meaghan Emery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46094222688511,"sku":"9781032239248","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc455534-f496-40e1-b8c5-823743b4df6c.jpg?v=1724844042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-algerian-war-retold-meaghan-emery-9781032239248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
