  • Analysis of the Causes of the Independent Movement of Algeria
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 6, Ver. V (Jun. 2014), PP 79-95 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Analysis of the Causes of the Independent Movement of Algeria Rabeya Khatun Islamic History and Culture Department, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify and analysis the different causes of the Algerian War of Independence 1954-1962. The analysis extends to include various aspects of French colonization’s policy and their determination to maintain direct control of Algeria because of its strategic location and how they pillaged the land, destroyed old cultures, displaced local languages, transformed ancient customs, devastation of traditional society, economy and military alliances and how they created new ones throwing up in their wake new historical opportunities. It represents the undermining of women's roles and rights, and the exploitation of their willingness to shelve their feminist agenda in favor of participation in the nationalist cause. This paper also looks at the role of nationalist parties and leaders to rise of Algerian nationalism. This paper is traced to the nature of the socio-political Circumstances of Algeria that took over the leadership of the anti-colonial struggle, war of independence and subsequently of the Algerian state. Keywords: Algeria, colony, nationalism, women, independence. I. Preface It was the century of colonialism. The principal colonial powers were the United Kingdom, France, Russia and the Netherlands. The nations of Europe fanned out across the globe in search of profits and in the process subjugated vast regions of the earth, pillaging the land, destroying old cultures, displacing local languages, transforming ancient customs.

  • Altérité and the FLN Chad R. Cussen …Had I Discovered the Algerian
    Fractured Fraternity: Altérité and the FLN Chad R. Cussen Chad R. Cussen is a graduate student from Roann, Indiana. He graduated with a B.A. in History and International Studies from Indiana University in 2008 and studied at the University of Strasbourg’s affiliate Institute of Human Rights in France. He wrote this paper for Dr. Beck’s History 5400, Imperialism, in the fall of 2008. Chad’s research interests include the cultural and political history of nineteenth and twentieth-century France. …Had I discovered the Algerian nation, I would be a nationalist and would not blush as if I had committed a crime…However, I will not die for the Algerian nation, because it does not exist.229 Ferhat Abbas …Par delà la légende politique et les fictions juridiques de l’Algérie « terre de France en Afrique », notre pays est une colonie, dont l’originalité est d’être à la fois d’exploitation et de peuplement.230 Hocine Aït Ahmed …Si la peur donne des ailes et fait perdre tout jugement, elle fait dire aussi des bêtises. C’est ainsi que la période héroïque de 1936, au cours de laquelle la conscience nationale a été éveillée par le venue de l’Étoile Nord-Africaine en Algérie, est qualifiée de période de lutte fratricide.231 Declaration by followers of Messali Hadj, spring 1954 In 1954, Algerian leaders of the Front de Libération National (FLN) joyously declared independence from metropolitan France and aspired for a unified Algeria. French colonialism, however, created deep divisions within the FLN. These divisions were not formed spontaneously in 1954, but through a long process and relationship with metropolitan France.

  • Toward a Minor Theatre: Myriam Ben's
    TOWARD A MINOR THEATRE: MYRIAM BEN’S ALGERIAN ANTIGONE Caroline E. Kelley D. Phil. Simone de Beauvoir Institute - Concordia University [email protected] Recommended citation || KELLEY, Caroline E. (2011): “Toward a Minor Theatre:Myriam Ben’s Algerian Antigone” [online article], 452ºF. Electronic journal of theory of literature and comparative literature, 5, 74-98, [Consulted on: dd/mm/aa], < http://www.452f.com/index.php/en/caroline-kelley.html > Illustration || Nadia Sanmartín Article || Upon request | Published on: 07/2011 74 License || Creative Commons Attribution Published -Non commercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License 452ºF Abstract || In this paper, I read Myriam Ben’s Leïla, poème scénique en deux actes et un prologue as a reinterpretation of Sophocles’ Antigone. I contend that this blend of Algerian theatre, history and Greek tragedy yields a variety of ‘minor theatre’ that sets out to undermine established dramaturgical structures and prevailing historical narratives about the Algerian Revolution (1954- 1962). Working in the outline of a canonical work, the playwright decentres the classic tragedy by way of a thought-provoking technical adaptation while, at the same time, refuting the fictions shrouding the events of the liberation struggle, the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) and, especially, the military overthrow of President Ahmed Ben Bella by his Defence Minister Houari Boumediene in 1965. Despite the specificity of its context, however, the allegorical nature of the play allows for a sense of universality. While its milieu is undoubtedly post-revolution Algeria, the story it communicates might take place in any country past or present –dictatorships not being limited to North Africa.

  • Women's Rights in Post-2011 Morocco
    POLICY PAPER November 2020 Women’s Rights in Post-2011 Morocco: The Divergences Between Institutions and Values Dao-Sabah Manal Abstract In Morocco, the Arab Spring has resulted in the promulgation of a « progressive » constitution which was capable of calming down the turmoil spread all over the country. Despite the national and international praises, the constitution incarnates textual and executive inconsistencies regarding gender issues. Article 19 insists on gender parity and at the same time on the respect of the country’s constants (thawabit) which hinder the complete realization of women’s rights. Due to this binarism, women in Morocco still suffer from institutional economic and social inequalities that can be traced, for instance, in the inheritance law and in the 2004 Family Code which endorse their “subalternity” in post- 2011 Morocco. The 2015 CNDH report confirmed that women’s rights have regressed. This paper, thus, addresses the incongruence between the political system, aiming at effecting gender equality through democratic laws, and the Moroccan value system which asserts its attachment to the constants. Hence, women’s rights, after 2011, desperately vacillate between the divergences of the political and the value systems. Key words: gender equality, constitution, value system, political system, constants. Introduction To discuss women’s status in post-2011 Morocco, we need to shed light first on the historical advancement of these rights. The different stations whereby struggles for gender equality have settled throughout the history of post-colonial Morocco help understand the interactions between women and the state, women and the conservatives and also the state and the conservatives.

  • Algerian Health Care Organizations and Propaganda Campaigns, 1954–62
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 44 (2012), 713–731 doi:10.1017/S0020743812000839 Jennifer Johnson Onyedum “HUMANIZE THE CONFLICT”: ALGERIAN HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS AND PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGNS, 1954–62 Abstract This article explores the vitally important yet often neglected role of medicine and health care in the conduct of the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62). Using French, Swiss, and recently opened Algerian archival materials, it demonstrates how Algerian nationalists developed a health- service infrastructure that targeted the domestic and international arenas. It argues that they employed the powerful language of health and healing to legitimize their claims for national sovereignty and used medical organizations to win local support, obtain financial and material aid from abroad, and recast themselves as humanitarians to an increasingly sympathetic international audience. This research aims to situate Algerian efforts into a broader history of decolonization and humanitarianism and contributes to rethinking the process through which political claims were made at the end of empire.
