Description

Uncivil War is a provocative study of the intellectuals who confronted the lack of France’s such a lot prized in another country possession: colonial Algeria. Tracing the intellectual history of one of the violent and pivotal wars of European decolonization, James D. Le Sueur illustrates how key figures such as Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Germaine Tillion, Jacques Soustelle, Raymond Aron, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Albert Memmi, Frantz Fanon, Mouloud Feraoun, Jean Amrouche, and Pierre Bourdieu agonized over the “Algerian question.” As Le Sueur argues, these individuals and others forged new notions of the nation and nationalism, giving upward push to a politics of identity that continues to steer debate world wide. This edition features crucial new chapter at the intellectual responses to the up to date torture debates in France, the civil war in Algeria, and terrorism since September 11.
