Djamila Boupacha includes an introduction by Beauvoir followed by a section by Halimi focusing on Boupacha’s biography and the legal case, and finally statements by “engaged intellectuals” such as Henri Alleg, Jules Roy, and Françoise Sagan. In 1958 Henri Alleg authored a text entitled La Question, thereby connecting Boupacha to the other, male torture victims in Algeria and corroborating and legitimizing her statement further. Following Alleg’s and others’ reactions, the book contains Boupacha’s own testimony, the 1960 Le Monde article, Boupacha’s father’s statement, and several family photographs.
