Algérianité
Algérianité was the conception of a unique "Algerianess" under French colonial rule in Algeria that encompassed an independence from the French identity, and the political ideal of an Algerian homeland. Algérianité conceives of Algerian identity as a unique blend of disparate influences contributed by settlers of differing cultural backgrounds. The blending of such diverse influences creates the new culture that is uniquely Algerian and this is called "Algérianité" (Algerianness). Literary works This has been the topic of several literary works exploring the relationship of diasporas to Algeria and their shared connection to collective cultural forms. Algerian author Assia Djebar explored similar themes in her first fiction novel ''La Soif'' (1957). Her work centers on the Algerian cause to reclaim a national identity as independent from the contested and coexisting complex identities, some of which predate French rule in Algeria.

Unions Latines
Unions latines (UL) was an early 20th century fascist Algerian political party. Background Deeply anti-Semitic and xenophobic, the political focus of the extreme right Pied-Noir settlers in Algeria was guided by the unrelenting torrent of violence between them and local Muslim population. In 1871, the Kabyle Revolt had resulted in the slaughter of 2,686 settlers by Berber rebels. This led to repressive measures including reparations, summary executions and laws that stripped tribes of their property rights. By 1920 the legal reforms of 1883 and 1887 had given 2.6 million hectares of Algerian land to Europeans. Impoverished by these reforms, Algerians were forced to work as virtual slave labor on lands now owned by Europeans. They grew more violent under the brutal colonial laws known as the '' Code de l'Indigénat'' under which the legal rights of "citizens" were formally distinguished from "subjects". The Algerian "subjects" were not afforded any right to jury trials. They ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
