Entrée des Harkis dans L’Histoire de France?

Géraldine D. Enjelvin

University College Northampton, Geraldine.Enjelvin{at}northampton.ac.uk

Since the beginning of the 1990s, France has attempted to deal with both the ‘syndrome de Vichy’ (Rousso, 1987) and the ‘syndrome de l’Algérie’ (Horne, 2001) so as to reconcile differences between official historio-graphy, individual/group memories and collective memory. This paper focuses on selected monuments (such as the December 2002 French memorial to the Algerian war), commemorations (such as the September 2001 Day of National Homage to the Harkis) and especially Jacques Chirac’s presidential speeches (since 1995) with a view to analysing how these official verbal and symbolic measures have endeavoured to foster not only national reconciliation but also the historicisation of the Vichy years and the Algerian war in general and that of the plight of the Harkis in particular.

Key Words: Algerian war • Chirac, Jacques • collective memory • Harkis • national history • official discourse • Vichy government
