At the end of French colonization in Algeria, four categories of
people held French citizenship or had strong ties with France:
European settlers, Jews, mixed-race individuals, and Harkis. The
end of the War of Independence exiled most of them from Algeria,
traumatized them in various ways, and transferred many to
metropolitan France. Remnants of the Franco-Algerian Rupture:
Archiving Postcolonial Minorities examines the legacies of these
transnational identities through narratives that dissent from
official histories, both in France and Algeria. This literature
takes particular stories of exile and loss and constructs a memory
around a Mosaic father figure embodying the native land, Algeria.
Mona El Khoury argues that these filiation narratives create a
postcolonial archive: a discursive foundation that makes historical
minorities visible,while disrupting French and Algerian hegemonies.
El Khoury questions the power of literature to repair history while
contending that these literary strategies seek to do justice to the
dead Algerian father, even as they valorize enduring minority
identifications.
