This is a book about the use of languages as a proxy for conflict.
It traces the history of Algeria from colonization by the French in
1830 to the celebration of 50 years of independence in 2012, and
examines the linguistic issues that have accompanied this turbulent
period. The book begins with an examination of 'language conflict'
and related concepts, and then applies them to both the French
colonists' language policies and the Arabization campaigns which
followed independence. This is followed by an analysis of the
rivalry between the English and French languages in independent
Algeria. The book concludes with a study of the language choices
made by Algerian writers and the complex tensions which arose from
these choices among intellectuals in the colonial and post-colonial
periods.
