The 1960 insurrection lacked the intercommunal fraternity of May 1958
Evidence
By mid-afternoon the Plateau des Glières was black with demonstrators—an estimated thirty thousand. Noticeably absent were any Muslims. Gone was the spirit of fraternisation of those May days of 1958; gone also was the good-natured atmosphere of fiesta that had prevailed at that time. In its place was a tougher and altogether more dangerous mood. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1096
Categorization
- XREF: Direct echo of the May 1958 ‘fraternisation’ narrative from earlier chapters; the author uses the contrast as a marker of radicalisation. — connects to: The 16 May fraternisation was real, not merely rigged, drawing 30,000 Muslims; The 13 May uprising harnessed a total civilian shutdown across European Algiers. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 867
