Moussa Massy dreams of being a star. A Kabyle singer in 1990s Algiers, Massy electrifies audiences with his fusion of Arab and African melodies with American pop music. At 36, he desperately wants to marry his long-term fianc e and escape from the three-room apartment he shares with thirteen other members of his family. When he is signed to perform at one of the hottest nightclubs in town, his dreams appear to be coming true. But his taste of fame and freedom is short-lived: when the fundamentalist Islamic group FIS is elected to power, the city is submerged in corruption and violence. As he battles to salvage his dreams in a society steeped in fanaticism, Massy s passion for music turns to unforgiving rage. In energetic, staccato prose, The Star of Algiers vividly portrays the harsh realities of a country in constant turmoil and brilliantly shows the capacity for despair and hatred of those who have nothing left to lose.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... itself came out of the East, the land of morning. The West should bring to the Truths, hidden in these generic dreams, the understanding of developed reason--should rediscover, and more clearly, what the East in visions dimly perceived. It is marvellous how the Orient remains unchanged through the centuries. Like a vision are the pale figures passing through the French streets; one may sometimes see a shepherd with a lamb in the folds of his white garment. The pages are constantly turned back for us to the beginning. Only a short journey and we enter the living Past and find the Tents of Abraham, and Rebecca at the Well--though the buildings of Egypt and of Rome are in ruins. So is interpreted for us that most wonderful book that ever was written, the oldest and therefore the most sacred, the record of a race's development told from within, the type-story, the heart-story of the world. Beautiful Orient, thou art the land of the beginning. Thine is the star of revelation. Thine is the fountain of poetry in which the Past expressed its sense of the rhythm of the Universe; and by that rhythm the Present interprets the Dream! WAVES WAVES TWO friends, we had come from America to Algiers, and had taken up our abode in a villa belonging to a hotel on the hill. Here we have read and watched, and have gone down into the life of the city and discovered the traces of what has been. For the Moorish life is passing, is now, in many of its beauteous shells, itself a dream which flits whitely through marble courts and arches where we are conscious of it. So we remember and learn. Strange that this morning land of Algeria, this beautiful southern shore long ago overflowed by the East, should have been to our civilization as a twilight border, beyond...

Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.

The Battle of Algiers, a 1966 film that poetically captures Algerian resistance to French colonial occupation, is widely considered one of the greatest political films of all time. With an artistic defiance that matched the boldness of the anticolonial struggles of the time, it was embraced across the political spectrum—from leftist groups like the Black Panther Party and the Palestine Liberation Organization to right-wing juntas in the 1970s and later, the Pentagon in 2003. With a philosophical nod to Frantz Fanon, Sohail Daulatzai demonstrates that tracing the film’s afterlife reveals a larger story about how dreams of freedom were shared and crushed in the fifty years since its release. As the War on Terror expands and the “threat” of the Muslim looms, The Battle of Algiers is more than an artifact of the past—it’s a prophetic testament to the present and a cautionary tale of an imperial future, as perpetual war has been declared on permanent unrest. Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

'A beautiful little novel about books, history, ambition and the importance of literature.' Nick Hornby 'Truly potent ... Adimi confronts us with episodes that are simply never spoken of in France' The New York Times Book Review In 1936, a young dreamer named Edmond Charlot opened a modest bookshop in Algiers. Once the heart of Algerian cultural life, where Camus launched his first book and the Free French printed propaganda during the war, Charlot's beloved bookshop has been closed for decades, living on as a government lending library. Now it is to be shuttered forever. But as a young man named Ryad empties it of its books, he begins to understand that a bookshop can be much more than just a shop that sells books. A Bookshop in Algiers charts the changing fortunes of Charlot's bookshop through the political drama of Algeria's turbulent twentieth century of war, revolution and independence. It is a moving celebration of books, bookshops and of those who dare to dream.

A richly detailed history of the Bacris and the Busnachs, two renowned Jewish families whose influence and reputation shook the capitals of Europe and America At the height of the Napoleonic Wars, the Bacri brothers and their nephew, Naphtali Busnach, were perhaps the most notorious Jews in the Mediterranean. Based in the strategic port of Algiers, their interconnected families traded in raw goods and luxury items, brokered diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, and lent vital capital to warring nations. For the French, British, and Americans, who competed fiercely for access to trade and influence in the region, there was no getting around the Bacris and the Busnachs. The Kings of Algiers traces the rise and fall of these two trading families over four tumultuous decades in the nineteenth century. In this panoramic book, Julie Kalman restores their story—and Jewish history more broadly—to the histories of trade, corsairing, and high-stakes diplomacy in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath. Jacob Bacri dined with Napoleon himself. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Horatio Nelson considered strategies to circumvent the Bacris’ influence. As the families’ ambitions grew, so did the perils, from imprisonment and assassination to fraud and family collapse. The Kings of Algiers brings vividly to life an age of competitive imperialism and nascent nationalism and demonstrates how people and events on the periphery shaped perceptions and decisions in the distant metropoles of the world’s great nations.
