Publisher's Synopsis
These essays, by a range of British, French, and Algerian scholars, concentrate specifically on the different and distinctive cultural identities which have been created in each country due to interaction. General chapters offer methodological overviews and place the problematic within its historical context. Part one deals with the colonial period up to 1954, part two with the War of Independence, and part three with the post-colonial period since 1962. In each case, the shifting identities are explored from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
