Product Description
Synopsis
This analysis explores gender relations in Algeria from the pre-colonial era to the present. By tracing the changes in women's roles, it illuminates the achievements as well as the setbacks that characterize women's lives in contemporary Africa and makes a contribution to feminist debates about how to conceptualize the experience of women whose history, culture and nationality are "different". Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book marks a major departure from more traditional studies of Algerian women which usually examine female roles in relation to Islam. It argues that Algerian women's roles are shaped by a variety of structural and symbolic factors, including: colonial domination, demographic change, nationalism, socialist development policy of the 1960s and 1970s, family formation and the progressive shift to a capitalist economy. Special attention is given to the rise of fundamentalism and its impact on gender relations.
