Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone
Algerian Literature examines how literature-and the way we read,
classify, and critique literature-impacts our understanding of the
world at a time of conflict. Using the bitterly-contested Algerian
Civil War as a case study, Joseph Ford argues that, while
literature is frequently understood as an illuminating and
emancipatory tool, it can, in fact, restrain our understanding of
the world during a time of crisis and further entrench the
polarized discourses that lead to conflict in the first place. Ford
demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature, along with the
cultural and academic criticism that has surrounded it, has
mobilized visions of Algeria over the past thirty years that often
belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power, resistance,
and conflict in the region. Scholars of literature, history,
Francophone studies, and international relations will find this
book particularly useful.
