"Femmes Algeriennes 1960 (First Edition)" is a photobook by French photographer Marc Garranger. Garranger is a photojournalist who has been active since the 1960s. In the 60s, together with the renowned French novelist Roger Vaillant, he published a report on the funeral of Italian Communist Party leader Palmiro Togliatti, and from the 70s onward, he continued to cover war and poverty in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, and other places. Garranger's most representative work is "Portraits of Algerian Women," which is included in this book. The Algerian War of Independence lasted from 1954 to 1962 against French rule. As a journalist, Garranger accompanied the army and was responsible for photographing local women who were required to carry French ID cards at the time. Following the style of Edward Curtis's portrait photography of Native Americans, he pressed the shutter with respect and dignity for the people. It is a masterpiece of portraiture that delicately depicts the complex emotions of women who could not hide their anger and resistance. Although it was reprinted in 2002, this book is the first edition published by Cotrejour in 1982.
