Extract

Offering a useful survey of historical developments in Algeria since 1830, Algeria, 1830–2000 focuses on persistent problems of historical memory, struggles over identity, and the (until now) failed effort to create a state based on law and secular-republican principles. The book consists primarily of English-language translations from three books written by Benjamin Stora, a noted French historian of Algeria, in the early 1990s.
