Collective Memory: France and the Algerian War (1954-62) - After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial France
Jo McCormack
Collective Memory examines contemporary transmission of memories in France of the Algerian war of independence (1954D62). The work emphasizes the lack of transmission of memories of this war through a detailed case study of three crucial vectors of memory: school history, the media, and the family; and argues that lack of transmission of memories is feeding into contemporary racism in France.
