Colonial Toxicity: Rehearsing French Nuc

In the 1960s the French colonial regime detonated four atmospheric atomic bombs, thirteen underground nuclear bombs, and conducted other nuclear experiments in the Algerian Sahara. This secret, still-classified programme occurred during and after the Algerian War (1954-1962). Meticulously culled together from numerous sources by architectural historian Samia Henni, this publication's wealth of materials documenting the violent history of France's activities in the Algerian desert offers a rich repository for all those concerned with histories of nuclear weapons and engaged at the intersections of spatial, social, and environmental justice, as well as anticolonial archival practices.
