Winner of the 2016 Women's History Network Book Prize Between 1954
and 1962, Algerian women played a major role in the struggle to end
French rule in one of the twentieth century's most violent wars of
decolonisation. This is the first in-depth exploration of what
happened to these women after independence in 1962. Based on new
oral history interviews with women who participated in the war in a
wide range of roles, from urban bombers to members of the rural
guerrilla support network, it explores how female veterans viewed
the post-independence state and its multiple discourses on 'the
Algerian woman' in the fifty years following 1962. It also examines
how these former combatants' memories of the anti-colonial conflict
intertwine with, contradict or coexist alongside the
state-sponsored narrative of the war constructed after
independence. Making an original contribution to debates about
gender, nationalism and memory, this book will appeal to students
and scholars of history and politics. -- .
