FREN 362-01	Rep of Alger War in France Instructor: Linda Brindeau Course Description: On October 17, 1961, thousands of Algerians demonstrated peacefully in the streets of Paris to protest a curfew imposed upon them during the last days of the Algerian war. Dozens, if not hundreds, were killed in the police crackdown that ensued. The next day, officials announced that there had been three deaths two Algerians and one native of Metropolitan France. This lie was accepted as fact, and silence about the real events of October 17th remained unbroken for over 20 years. In this course, we will first place the event the pacific demonstration of October 17, 1961- in its context through a careful analysis of the seven-year war between France and Algeria. This investigation will help students understand that the war was clearly being waged on both sides of the Mediterranean. More importantly, however, we will focus on the cover-up of the massacre, the unbroken silence that surrounded the events, and the (re)construction of a collective memory.	1330:W BOSLER 213
