Colonial Myths, History and Narrative

This book offers a cogent and compelling critique of a wide range of colonial narratives by Albert Camus and other pied-noir writers such as Roblès, Pélégri, and Clot. Haddour shows how the imaginative and theoretical texts by these, and other authors, are marked by the crushing weight of colonial history, how they articulate the dimensions of colonial power and dominance, and how, by the same token, they constitute an agency for resistance.
