Derderian looks at the large North African population in France and their attempts for recognition in a country which has long denied its rich immigration past and present. He considers how the North African community has developed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, especially in their political and cultural initiatives. Derderian examines the radio station Radio Beur and the television show La Famille Ramdam , as well as political initiatives and the role of ethnic minorities in defining prominent French sites of memory such as the working-class suburbs or banlieues and the Algerian War. Based largely on oral history, Derderian draws from a wealth of interviews with North African artists and creators as well as various French cultural actors.

The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria is the second largest country in Africa. This, coupled with its location near Europe and its prized hydrocarbons (oil and gas), continues to increase Algeria's international importance. Algeria's fight for liberation from French colonialism, which it finally achieved in 1962, was made famous by Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966) and stands as an inspiration for many nearby countries. However, recent violence caused in part by ideological rivalry between a declining socialism and rising Islamism, illustrates post-colonial peril and tragedy. Today, Algeria endeavors to reconcile its past with its present. The third edition of the Histori...
Die Kinder der maghrebinischen Immigranten schaffen nicht nur Unruhe in den Vorstädten Frankreichs, sondern auch in der Kultur des Landes. Ihre Literatur und ihre Filme erzählen von den Schwierigkeiten des Lebens zwischen zwei Welten, vom täglichen Rassismus und der ständig drohenden Marginalisierung. Ihre künstlerischen Darstellungsmittel lassen keinen Zweifel an ihrem Selbstanspruch, der - wenn auch zögerlich - zunehmend Anerkennung im etablierten Kulturbetrieb findet, in dem man zunächst nur an eine kurzfristige Mode glauben wollte. Der Band 4 der Reihe Studien zur Literatur und Geschichte des Maghreb widmet sich dem Thema der Multiperspektivik, die dem interkulturellen Gegenstand ...
