| Summary: | Contrary to other conflicts, the Algerian War is still rarely present in children’s books. Picture book authors may allude to it in the text, but illustrators favor images existing in a stereotypical universe—or one that is out of time and place, preferring to placate people and certain generations. Documentaries or documentary picture books are more likely to attempt a representation of that strange conflict, which was made up of attacks, the settling of scores, and waiting periods. These documentary books use representations based on historical research, and even photographs, with the goal of authenticating a fictionalized narrative, oscillating between individual and collective memory, without perhaps sufficiently delineating for children the border between historical discourse on one hand and an inherently reductive fiction on the other. |
