Algeria Cuts : Women and Representation, 1830 to the Present Paperback / softback
by Ranjana Khanna
Part of the Cultural Memory in the Present series
Paperback / softback
Description
Algeria Cuts discusses the figure of woman, both under colonial rule in Algeria and within the postcolonial independent nation-state.
It is an interdisciplinary project that spans fine art, film, colonial and legal policy, manifestos, prose fiction, and theoretical and philosophical texts concerning the relationship between France and Algeria.
Khanna investigates gendered representation, identification, and justice, and in the process, calls into question the ways in which conventional disciplinary frameworks foreclose certain avenues of reflection while foregrounding others.
Algeria Cuts seeks to understand Algeria and Algerian women as a philosophical site that facilitates an understanding of justice and the pursuit of feminism.
