Joseph Ford

Writing the Black Decade

Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses the work of writers, journalists, and academic critics producing work during and since the end of the Algerian Civil War, arguing that literature-and ideas we have about it-can restrain our understanding of the world at a time of conflict and further entrench the polarized discourses that lead to the conflict in the first place.
