Sartre, Camus and the Algerian War
David Drake
When considering Sartre’s and Camus’ positions on the Algerian War of Independence, it is useful to begin by briefly locating both men in relation to colonialism in general and Algeria in particular. The first point, an obvious one, but one which needs to be made, is that while Camus, the child of Belcourt, had first-hand knowledge of life in working-class Algiers, and as a journalist of the misery of Kabylia in the late 1930s, Sartre, the Parisian intellectual par excellence, had almost no direct knowledge of the country. I say almost no direct knowledge because he and de Beauvoir did pass through southern Algeria en route to French West Africa in 1950 but apparently paid scant attention to the political situation in that country.

Relevance for Understanding the Postcolonial Situation
François Pouillon

Jessica Hammerman
Over the course of the seven-year Franco-Algerian war for independence from 1954 to 1962, the mainstream Jewish leadership shifted its public face from one of identifying with Adolphe Crémieux to one of diminishing their attachment to him. Crémieux

A Bridge Across the Mediterranean
Nafissa Sid Cara and the Politics of Emancipation during the Algerian War
Elise Franklin
“spread” of culture would certainly happen, if they only opened themselves up to it. If the resurgence of veiling in the 1980s surprised Sid Cara, she did not betray it. She had witnessed an earlier iteration of the politicization of Algerian Muslim women
