The second phase of Algerian francophone literature began as political tensions rose in the nation, and the War of Independence began. Most Algerian authors of this period were staunch supporters of the FLN and of an independent Algeria, so much so that many literary figures at the time were active participants in the independence struggle. Countless such writers, including Kateb Yacine, Mohamed Boudia, Anna Gréki, and Leila Djabali, were arrested and imprisoned by the colonial regime during the 1950s. In contrast with their pre-1945 counterparts, these writers were more vocally critical of France in their work and used a realistic style to highlight the injustices of colonialism. Notable works from this period include Feraoun’s "Le Fils du pauvre" (The Poor Man’s Son), Mohammed Dib’s "La Grande maison" (The Big House), Mouloud Mammeri’s "La Colline oubliée" (The Forgotten Hill), Kateb Yacine’s "Ndjema", and Malek Haddad’s "La Dernière impression" (The Last Impression).
