""Decolonizing Emotions in French Algeria offers an exciting and important new approach to the history of the decolonization of French Algeria through its focus on emotion. It uses a wide range of source material to tell the history of both how emotions drove activism and action, as well as how groups weaponized emotions in the battle over public opinion."" --Sara Rahnama, Professor, Morgan State University, USA ""This book is the first to explicitly centre a history of emotions of the Algerian Revolution. Drawing on a rich range of Arabic and French sources, it demonstrates how myths were repurposed, moral imaginaries created and underscores the importance of studying the human side of activist commitment."" --Natalya Vince, Professor, University of Oxford, UK
