Algerian Chronicles
Algerian Chronicles | Albert Camus
2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
More than 50 years after independence, Algerian Chronicles, with its prescient analysis of the dead end of terrorism, appears here in English for the first time. Published in France in 1958—the year the war caused the collapse of the Fourth French Republic—it is one of Albert Camus’ most political works: an exploration of his commitment to Algeria.

Algerian Chronicles | Albert Camus

Pickpick

I started reading on Nov 5. Each letter or essay had to be analyzed carefully before moving to the next. As an Algerian born Frenchman, he fought for equality in his homeland, he fought for humanity, but was forced into exile. He stated how the indigenous Algerians fought for France during WW II so they should not be abandoned. He stood up for the minute communities and their differences, and how the new government should reflect the differences.

Texreader Excellent review!! 3w
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick This sounds interesting. I had to delay a couple of months because I was falling so far behind thanks to work and life obligations. I'll have to see if this is available to me through the library. I'm gong to have to split a few months in half next year to make up for what I've missed! 🤣 3w

According to the blurb, this is one of Camus' most political books. I haven't started reading it yet! #politicsandbooks #augustofpages

BookishFeminist Oh it definitely is. Love Camus, but watch out for his rampant colonialist privilege though. 9y
