Collective Memory examines the difficult transmission of memory in
France of the Algerian war of independence (1954-62). Emphasizing
the current lack of transmission of memories of this war through a
detailed case study of three crucial vectors of memory: the
teaching of school history, coverage in the media, and discussion
in the family, author McCormack argues that lack of transmission of
memories is feeding into contemporary racism and exclusion in
France. Collective Memory draws extensively on interviews with
historians, teachers, and pupils as well as secondary sources and
media analysis. McCormack proposes that a greater 'work of memory'
needs to be undertaken if France is to overcome the division in
French society that stems from the war. There has been little
reconciliation of divisive group memories, a situation that leaves
many individuals without a voice on this important subject. 'Memory
battles' dominate discussion of the topic as many issues
periodically flare up and cannot yet be overcome.
