| description | How can the requirement of historical criticism stand against the ideological pressure caused by the making of a national memory? This issue, analyzed in several articles on the construction of the image of Abd el-Kader in contemporary Algeria, ends here with sources dealing with the Emir’s period of exile to the East. Did the leader abandon his Algerian costume to embrace the regional dress codes? This question led Algerian historians to challenge the testimonies of visitors and even photographs. In the course of analyzing a seemingly irrelevant detail - the eye color of the Emir - we noted that the information was not only different but contradictory: based on incomplete, disparate and sometimes controversial documentation, how can one not give into relativism and still manage to provide the evidence? |
