Algeria, an independent country located in north Africa, and is one of the world's top suppliers for oil and gas. After being ruled by France for more than a century, Algeria got their independence in the late 1960s. Since then, Algeria is known to have one of the most dominating governments throughout the world. With a population of over 39 million the country has found themselves in a crisis fighting against Al-Qaeda. (AQIM) Al-Qaeda is recognized as an international terrorist group who is…

Morocco seems to draw the portrait of its relations with the European Union and Sub-Saharan African countries including the African Union over the Western Sahara issue. Accordingly, the Moroccanism component of the postcolonial Moroccan national identity is preferred to Europeanism and Africanism when it comes to the Western Sahara issue. But a more important point is that Moroccanism was a strong component not only for Western Sahara but even after the postcolonial period. In an article,…

The Battle of Algiers is a film set in 1954 that brings attention to the conflict of independence being sought by the Algerians. We see fear and violence begin to escalate as the city of Algeria fights for independence from the French. After a violent uprising, the Algerians finally achieve their goals and aspirations of independence in 1962. Conflict is defined as “a perceived divergence of interest,” (Pruitt and Kim, 7). This means that the underlying issue is the way that the conflict is…

Jackie Sun History 193B Professor Omnia El Shakry May 23, 2017 The differing experiences of Algeria and Egypt in their process of decolonization offers the opportunity for rich historical analysis, particularly through the lens of Frantz Fanon’s theory of revolutionary decolonization. Fanon’s most important work, The Wretched of the Earth, specifically concerned the case of Algeria and the Algerian war, but that does not preclude examination of other countries. Although Aleria remains unique…

For long, the policy prescription by the Washington Consensus played a pivotal role in the development of many African nations. The Washington Consensus was a neo-liberal approach largely adopted by international financial institutions from about the 1980’s through the first decade of the new millennium. With many African countries economic policy thinking largely externally shaped, it was no surprise that the so called Washington Consensus became the doctrine of the day. Many nations in Africa,…

Introduction Nowadays, many people have written papers who are considered by them as the key Arab authors in Arabic, French or English literature using their readings, skills and convictions as well as the literature review they made about the issue (Allen, 1988; Brisley, 2016). However, no one has tried to know who are recognized by all the scientific community as the main Arab writers. That is why I decided to retrieve the list of these widely recognized Arab authors for Arabic, French and…

The French Revolution was a period in history that lasted from 1789 until 1799. The Revolution was inspired by literistic and radical ideals. This time of history helped to change the course of modern history, replacing monarchies with democracies and republics globally. French citizens uprooted the monarchy with their rebellion, creating a new historical event. The French Revolution began because of social inequality, a financial crisis, and it was resolved when Napoleon became part of the…

To What Extent Could Louis Have Prevented the French Revolution? I think that a lot could have been done to prevent the French Revolution. However, a lot of the events that happened were not entirely Louis fault, or his at all. Some were out of his control but some could have been solved earlier causing less damage. These are the main reasons I think there was a revolution and what could have been done to stop it. One of the points was that the French economy was in very bad way. The country…

Our Moroccan society is one of the most societies believing in attitudes and stereotypes. People hold attitudes about any type of people according to their culture and education. Popular Moroccan culture employs all the possible methods to spread and sustains these attitudes and stereotypes, and this task is much easier using means of communication and especially social media. Attitudes can be positive or negative, but in the Moroccan society, most attitudes and stereotypes are created to…
