Abstract

Restaurant in Algiers
Clark, Michael | April 29, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

Algiers is a poor symbol of the France that did not give up. Algiers, though soft and complacent, is still a French city, the greatest outside continental France and thus the only possible seat of the Committee of National Liberation. But if Algiers is the capital of France at war, it is not France and good note should be taken of the difference. Its strangely mixed population has an ungenuine, an unheroic quality that repels the visitor. Many individuals in the civilian population, as in the Committee of National Liberation, the Consultative Assembly and the army, feel intensely their identity with the resistance movement within France.
