Through its nuanced analysis of the war's depiction in film, \u003ci\u003e The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens\u003c\/i\u003e locates an international reckoning with history that both condemns and exonerates past generations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlgerian and French production partnerships-such as\u003ci\u003e Hors-la-loi\u003c\/i\u003e, (\u003ci\u003eOutside the Law\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachid Bouchareb, 2010) and \u003ci\u003eLoubia Hamra\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eBloody Beans\u003c\/i\u003e, Narimane Mari, 2013)-are one of several ways citizens collaborate to unearth a shared history and its legacy. Nicole Beth Wallenbrock probes cinematic discourse to shed new light on topics including: the media revelation of torture and atomic bomb tests; immigration's role in the evolution of the war's meaning; and the complex relationship of the intertwined film cultures. The first chapter summarizes the Franco-Algerian War in 20th-century film, thus grounding subsequent queries with Algeria's \u003ci\u003emoudjahid\u003c\/i\u003e or freedom-fighter films and the French new wave's perceived disinterest in the conflict.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to understand cinema's role in re-evaluating war and reconstructing international memory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Beth Wallenbrock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350246808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350246805\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 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Nicole Beth Wallenbrock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944308179199,"sku":"9781350246805","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e5c288ac-9ba6-42a1-99be-a0fa0f362e9f.jpg?v=1681502935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-franco-algerian-war-through-a-nicole-beth-wallenbrock-9781350246805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
