520    "The internationally acclaimed writer Assia Djebar 
       portrays the interlocking lives of women and men in an 
       Algerian mountain town, plunged into a protracted anti-
       colonial struggle against France in the 1950s. Children of
       the New World, written one year before Algerian 
       independence, reveals the escalating conflict from the 
       perspectives of a variety of characters - traditional 
       wives, radicalized students, and political organizers. In 
       the novel, the desperate conflict transforms women's lives,
       drawing them inexorably from the private world of the home
       into a war for their community's liberation"--|cProvided 
       by publisher. 
520    Death begins and ends Djebar's moving, mesmerizing account
       of the Algerian war of independence. Using the interaction
       of several characters over the course of a single day in a
       small mountain town, Djebar shows how the fight against 
       French colonialism pitted woman against man and brother 
       against brother.

880    |6500-00|a"French Algeria (French: Alger to 1839, then 
       Algérie afterward; unofficially Algérie française, Arabic:
       الجزائر الفرنسية Al-Jaza'ir Al-Fransiyah) lasted from 1830
       to 1962, under a variety of governmental systems. From 
       1848 until independence, the whole Mediterranean region of
       Algeria was administered as an integral part of France, 
       much like Corsica and Réunion are to this day. The vast 
       arid interior of Algeria, like the rest of French North 
       Africa, was never considered part of France. One of 
       France's longest-held overseas territories, Algeria became
       a destination for hundreds of thousands of European 
       immigrants, known as colons and later, as pieds-noirs. 
       However, indigenous Muslims remained a majority of the 
       territory's population throughout its history. Gradually, 
       dissatisfaction among the Muslim population with its lack 
       of political and economic status fueled calls for greater 
       political autonomy, and eventually independence, from 
       France. Tensions between the two population groups came to
       a head in 1954, when the first violent events of what was 
       later called the Algerian War began. The war concluded in 
       1962, when Algeria gained complete independence following 
       the March 1962 Evian agreements and the July 1962 self-
       determination referendum."--Wikipedia
