Sommario/riassunto

Exploring the memory of the war of independence in France as viewed by the former European settlers (pieds-noirs) and the harkis, those Algerians who worked for the French security forces, this title examines how the memorial dynamics of the two groups are related both to each other and to other memories of the war.
