Boudreau Choice Perhaps the most important work of literary criticism to date devoted to examining the veritable richness and inherent paradoxes of Pied-Noir literature in all of its extremely divergent forms. -Keith Moser, Contemporary French Civilization -- Keith Moser Contemporary French Civilization [Remembering French Algeria] provides an interesting compilation of pied-noir narratives, and the fact that the author has made them available in English makes this book particularly useful on undergraduate courses for non-French speakers. -Natalya Vince, Modern and Contemporary France -- Natalya Vince Modern and Contemporary France Hubbell's book tackles a challenging topic and does a great job framing and analyzing the pied-noir experience from a mostly psychoanalytic perspective. -Fazia Aitel, French Review -- Fazia Aitel French Review This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking study that contains remarkable insights.
