ResumoThis article is a close, yet contextual, reading of two pairs of literary texts: autobiographical novels by Albert Camus and S. Yizhar; and short stories by Camus and Amos Oz. On this basis a conversation is created between the field of comparative settler colonialism on the one hand, and comparative literature on the other. Reciprocal insight is gained: the literature is related to the material context within which it was produced, and the socio-economic historical structures are illuminated by subjective human experience and consciousness.
