Performing the Pied-Noir Family: Constructing Narratives of Settler Memory and Identity in Literature and On-Screen - Paperback

by Aoife Connolly (Author)

This book examines literary and cinematic representations of the European settlers of Algeria known as the pieds-noirs following their mass migration to France in 1962. It breaks new ground by focusing on the family trope, including gender and youth, to reveal constructions of collective memory and identity post-Algerian independence.
