To better understand the many aspects of this subject, we will read literature, fiction and non-fiction, as well as watch films such as The Battle of Algiers, Four Days in September, Bloody Sunday, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, and The Terrorist that dramatize the psychological and ideological factors at work amid complex political struggles.
