The massacre of Algerian demonstrators by the Paris police on the
night of 17 October 1961 is one of the most contested events in
contemporary French history. This book provides a multi-layered
investigation of the repression through a critical examination of
newly opened archives, oral sources, the press and contemporary
political movements and debates. The roots of violence are traced
back to counter-insurgency techniques developed by the French
military in North Africa and introduced into Paris to crush the
independence movement among Algerian migrant workers. The study
shows how and why this event was rapidly expunged from public
visibility in France, but was kept alive by immigrant and militant
minorities, to resurface in a dramatic form after the 1980s.
Through this case-study the authors explore both the dynamics of
state terror as well as the complex memorial processes by which
these events continue to inform and shape post-colonial society.
