Algerian Heritage Associations: National Identity and Rediscovering the Past

Algerian Heritage Associations: National Identity and Rediscovering the Past

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores the work of a number of Algerian cultural heritage associations, which, since the freedom of association was greatly enhanced by the 1990 Associations law, appear to challenge, to redefine or to promote new conceptions of Algerian history and identity. Since the re-launching of the EU’s cooperation programmes in Algeria in the early 2000s, a number of these associations have received small grants to support their work. From promoting Berber cultural identity, to re-exploring the colonial past of the city of Oran, this chapter analyses the confrontations between these associations, the state and external donors such as the EU, as associations negotiate new and more inclusive conceptions of the past.
