    • Several stories from L'Exil et le royaume are particularly held open to this accusation. However, for an alternative reading of these, which argues that Algeria is presented in Camus's stories 'as a land in which no one can legitimately claim to be master and no one is destined to be slave', see David Carroll, 'Camus's Algeria: birthrights, colonial injustice, and the fiction of a French-Algerian people' in Modern Language Notes, September 1997

    • An earlier discussion of Camus's attitude to the Muslim population can be found in Pierre Nora's Les Français d'Algérie (Paris: René Julliard, 1961). While generally sympathetic, Nora describes Camus as 'Français d'Algérie malgré tout' and cites L'Etranger as a symptomatic expression of the unconscious complexes that had led the pied-noir community to the brink of self-destruction

    • See Jeffrey Issac, Arendt, Camus and Modern Rebellion (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1994) for an insightful discussion of this point. In the first entry to the 'Notes et plans' [Notes and Sketches] appended to Le Premier Homme, Camus appears to respond to this charge of 'objective culpability' via an imaginary dialogue with an interlocutor who we construe to be a former Muslim friend-turned-FLN militant: Conversation sur le terrorisme: Objectivement elle est responsable (solidaire) Change d'adverbe ou je te frappe Quoi? Ne prends pas à l'Occident ce qu'il a de plus bête. Ne dis plus objectivement ou je te frappe. Pourquoi? Ta mère s'est elle couchée devant le train d'Alger-Oran? (le trolleybus). Je ne comprends pas. Le train a sauté, 4 enfants sonts morts. Ta mère n'a pas bougé. Si objectivement elle est quand même responsable, alors tu approuves qu'on fusille des otages. Elle ne savait pas. Celle-là non plus. Ne dis plus jamais objectivement. Reconnais qu'il y a des innocents ou je te tue toi aussi. Tu sais que je pourrai le faire. Oui, je t'ai vu. (:277)solidaire

    • See Sarocchi's Le Dernier Camus ou Le Premier Homme for an analysis which explores Camus's pied-noir allegiances with considerable insight. Sarocchi notes: 'Le Premier Homme soutient donc un plaidoyer. Sa teneur autobiographique ne se sépare pas d'une entreprise de justification grâce à laquelle une ethnie menacée devrait reconnaître, en-deça de ses droits ou de ses torts officiels, la qualité différentielle qui lui tient lieu d'hoirie.' 144-5

    • The term is borrowed from Stuart Hall in his analysis of Claire Denis's film Chocolat, an autobiographically-based story of Denis's childhood in colonial Cameroon. See D. Petrie (ed.) Screening Europe (London: BFI, 1992). But it is especially relevant to Cormery's account of his own birth, fantasized as the consequence of a loving union between his parents even though later in the novel he declares: ". . . at heart he did not even want to know what there had been between them, and so he had to give up on learning anything from [his mother].'

These emigrants should be distinguished from those republican political prisoners arrested following the June uprising who formed part of the first penal colony established in Algeria, and who were soon to be followed by those condemned following the coup d'état of 1852. These prisoners were amnestied in 1859 and for the most part returned to France
