“This book is an incredibly clear presentation of why the Algerian War mattered, what happened, the key contexts which produced this conflict and those that shaped it, as well as offering a brilliant entry point to teach or demonstrate how historiography works, how historians do history.” - Todd Shepard, Arthur O. Lovejoy Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University, USA “This is a fantastic book which fills an important gap in the historical scholarship. Natalya Vince has managed the seemingly impossible task of presenting a nuanced history of the Algerian War / Algerian Revolution in clear, concise terms.” - Sarah Frank, Associate Lecturer of History, St Andrews University, UK "This brilliant and beautifully written book achieves the seemingly impossible task of offering a lucid and nuanced guide to the massive body of historical writing on the Algerian war. The book will immediately become essential and indispensable reading not only for students at all levels but also for teachers and historians." - Julian Jackson, Professor of Modern French History, Queen Mary University of London, UK This book examines one of the most violent wars of decolonisation of the twentieth century, the Algerian War/ the Algerian Revolution between 1954 and 1962, the history of which continues to be hotly contested. Bringing together an engaging account of its origins, course and legacies with an incisive analysis of how interpretations of the conflict have shifted and why it continues to provoke intense debate. Locating the war in a century-long timeframe stretching from 1914 to the present, it multiplies the perspectives from which events can be seen. The pronouncements of presidents and politicians are explored alongside the testimony of rural women who provided logistical support for guerrillas in the National Liberation Front. The broader context of decolonisation and the Cold War is considered alongside the experiences of colonised men serving in the French army. Unpacking the historiography of the end of a colonial empire, the rise of anti-colonial nationalism and their post-colonial aftermaths, it provides an accessible insight into how history is written.

Ce livre indique comment, pendant la période française (1830-1962), la population juive d’Algérie s’est transformée par un processus social et politique d’accès à la citoyenneté. Ce processus continu fut largement troublé d’une part par l’hostilité plus ou moins ponctuelle des Français, des Européens de la colonie et des Musulmans, et d’autre part par les polémiques incessantes qui ont accompagné ce passage progressif d’un groupe d’indigènes colonisés en citoyens de la République française. L’ouvrage analyse l’évolution du statut des Juifs entre 1830 (où ils ne sont que des dhimmis) et le décret Crémieux de naturalisation collective de 1870, la « mission civilisatrice de la France » qui s’est accompagnée de l’attachement rapide et définitif des Juifs, l’importance à travers le temps de l’« antijudaïsme » et de l’antisémitisme dans la colonie. Leur inscription dans la sphère française aux XIXe-XXe siècles fait d’objet d’études de cas : les rabbins, les Juifs de Constantine, les interprètes, la vie quotidienne, la presse antijuive. Les textes proposés font revivre leurs identités plurielles : citoyens français, ils revendiquent leur judéité inscrite dans la sphère séfarade, imprégnée de culture berbéro-arabe. La période de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est abordée à travers les camps d’internement et la présence de Juifs d’Algérie à Marseille. Le livre s’achève avec un regard sur la situation actuelle et des témoignages sur la mémoire de l’Algérie.

"This is an important, humane book. It tells a kind of secret history and reveals visual treasures—some of which, as Bedjaoui emphasizes, risk slowly subsiding into neglect and decay. Film historians everywhere should welcome this valuable volume, I hope as much as I do." --Guy Austin, Newcastle University, UK "With this brilliant work, Ahmed Bedjaoui shows and reminds us how Algeria's liberation movement used cinema and images as weapons in their struggle, and to create a memory of the War of Independence." --Olivier Hadouchi, Researcher, IRCAV - Paris 3, France The book examines the war of images between France and Algeria during the Algerian War. Discussing the role of the United States during the war, it covers topics such as the presence of American reporters in Algeria, John F. Kennedy’s support for Algerian independence while a senator, the broadcasting of documentaries on the Algerian War on public television, and reporting in the press. Even half a century after Algerian independence, there remains a need for both film and literature on the war from both sides of the Mediterranean. This might seem surprising, particularly to media professionals, given the quantity of output on the subject, but both French and Algerian portrayals of the war remain flawed and shackled to their respective ideologies. The book offers an insightful and timely contribution not just to the field of North African studies but also to other disciplines, such as film and media studies, anthropology, history, journalism, and political science. Providing a rich source of research topics and viable ideas for film and documentary projects, it is a must-read for students, scholars, and media professionals alike. Ahmed Bedjaoui graduated from the Paris Institute of Cinematographic Studies and holds a Ph.D. in American studies. He is a Professor of Audiovisual Communication and Cinema at Algiers University 3. He is the artistic manager of Algiers International Film Festival.
