History's Place

Nostalgia and the City in French Algerian Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

History's Place explores nostalgia as one of the defining aspects of the relationship between France and North Africa. Dr. Seth Graebner argues that France's most important colony developed a historical consciousness through literature, and that post-colonial writers revised it while retaining its dominant effect.
