Joseph Ford argues that literature can both illuminate and entrench polarized discourses, particularly during crises. Using the Algerian Civil War as a case study, Ford demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature and cultural criticism have mobilized visions of Algeria that often belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power, resistance, and conflict in the region. This book is valuable for scholars of literature, history, Francophone studies, and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 268g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 152 x 14 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498581882\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102195347706,"sku":"9781498581882","price":39.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_4061aac1-7b2f-4ca3-b42f-805742acc268.jpg?v=1664209150","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/writing-the-black-decade-conflict-and-criticism-in-francophone-algerian-literature-9781498581882","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
