Savage wars? Codes of violence in Algeria, 1830s-1990s

Article Abstract:

The different occurrences of both state and non-state violence must be understood as particular, distinct moments in both the recomposition and breakdown of inherently conflictual social reforms. While Algerian history provides many examples of the non-violent negotiation of social and political tensions, the social production and experience of violence are written into dominant historiographies and public culture in complex ways.
