HIEU 444 - Algeria, France, and the Violence of Decolonization3 Credit Hours
This course will focus on the Algerian Revolution of 1954-1962, a particularly violent chapter in France’s colonial history. In France, the manner in which the war was fought raised unsettling and divisive questions about the use of torture, the nature of terrorism, resettlement camps, and imperialism more generally. Students will engage with both primary and secondary sources to learn about this conflict from the perspective of settlers, Algerians (in both Algeria and France), and the French. In addition to learning about scholarly debates and methodology, students will explore the role of memory and politics in shaping our understanding of this period of history.
