Contents:
Chronology of the Algerian War -- The Algerian War and French comics -- "De case en classe" : teaching the Algerian War -- Historical narrative, French colonial culture, and comics -- Packaging history for mass consumption -- Atrocity photographs and reporting war -- Self, other, and self-othering -- Mapping colonial landscapes -- French comics as postmemory -- The postcolonial turn in teaching, remembering, and cartooning.
Summary: The decolonization of Algeria represents a turning point in world history, marking the end of France's colonial empire, the birth of the Algerian republic, and the appearance of the Third World and pan-Arabism. The Algerian war of national liberation therefore constitutes an inescapable reference for today's global citizen. Students and educators must recognize the broader implications of the Algerian War and adopt innovative pedagogical practices to identify and learn from historical misrepresentation. These objectives are imperative given the West's misunderstanding and mischaracterization of Islam and the Muslim-majority world.
