At university, students speak of the Black-foots as racist and colonialist exploiters, so Olivia finds it hard to make the connection between these descriptions and her grandparents. In the 1990s, when Algeria plunges into a civil war, Olivia wants to know more about her family history. When she asks her grandmother, she receives only a tired smile. However, ten years later, upon her grandmother's death, Olivia finds her grandmother's memoirs of Algeria. She then decides on the spot to go alone to Algeria; wthin her luggage are both questions needing answers and the telephone number for her only contact: Djaffar. Traveling through Algiers and the remote Aures region, she rediscovers the places described by her grandmother, listens to local memories and confronts the experiences of that time with her family's mythology. Discussions with Djaffar shed interesting and partial light on the internal struggles during the Algerian War of Independance, the National Liberation Front (FLN), the colonists, and the black decade. Olivia discovers that there are as many stories as there are participants and witnesses. 600 10 $a Burton, Olivia $v Comic books, strips, etc. 611 27 $a Revolution (Algeria : 1954-1962) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354461 650 0 $a Graphic novels $z France. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z France. 651 0 $a Algeria $x History $y 1990- $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Algeria $x Description and travel $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Algeria $x History $y Revolution, 1954-1962 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Pieds-Noirs $x History $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946656 650 7 $a Pieds-Noirs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01063874 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Algeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205459 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a Since 1954 $2 fast 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Autobiographical comic books, strips, etc. 655 0 $a Authors, French. 655 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726630 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Grand, Mahi, $e co-creator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020013819.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=723F5C1C462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
