The Body Beseiged: The Embodiment of Historical Memory in Nina Bouraoui and Le?a Sebbar by Helen Vassallo analyzes the enduring legacy of the Algerian War of Independence by setting in dialogue the work of two contemporary Franco-Algerian writers, Nina Bouraoui and Le?a Sebbar. It uses the concept of "embodied memory" to examine the correlation between history and autobiography, drawing on theories of exile, wounding, embodiment, and remembrance to expose fractures in the Franco-Algerian relationship in an era of commemoration and reconciliation.
