The claimed French liberation was contradicted by the violence inflicted on women through rape, torture and destruction of villages. This book examines the roots of this contradiction in the theory of ?revolutionary warfare?, and the attempt to defeat the National Liberation Front by penetrating the Muslim family, seen as a bastion of resistance. Striking parallels with contemporary Afghanistan and Iraq, French ?emancipation? produced a backlash that led to deterioration in the social and political position of Muslim women. This analysis of how and why attempts to Westernise Muslim women ended in catastrophe has contemporary relevance and will be important to students and academics engaged in the study of French and colonial history, feminism and contemporary Islam. 517 3 $aAlgerian war and the 'emancipation' of Muslim women, 1954-62 606 $aMuslim women$zAlgeria 607 $aAlgeria$xHistory$yRevolution, 1954-1962 610 $aReligion 610 $aIslam 610 $aGeneral 615 0$aMuslim women 676 $a965.046 700 $aMacMaster$b Neil$f1945-$0935121 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552349803316 996 $aBurning the veil$92105956 997 $aUNISA
