Description: |
This critique of colonial narrative covers not only the "pied-noir" writers, but the works of Feraoun, Dib and Mammeri, and the views of Derrida, Kristeva, Barthes, Sartre, Fanon and Memmi. It shows how texts are marked by colonial history, and become agents of resistance. |
Synopsis: |
This book offers a cogent and compelling critique of a wide range of colonial narratives by Albert Camus and other pied-noir writers such as Robles, Pelegri, and Clot. Haddour shows how the imaginative and theoretical texts by these, and other authors, are marked by the crushing weight of colonial history, how they articulate the dimensions of colonial power and dominance, and how, by the same token, they constitute an agency for resistance. |
