The Post-Colonial Society (American University Studies. Series Xxi, Regional Studies, Vol 14) [Paperback]

Mohamed H. Abucar (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Abucar's study explains how Algeria's current political problems are a product of the Algerian struggle for development and traces these problems from the outset of Algerian independence. A struggle for power continues between under-privileged groups and the petite bourgeoisie who have ruled Algeria since independence. The driving forces behind this struggle are the search for equality, justice and individual freedom. The use of religion as a means to achieve power is also explored.

This concise and well-rounded picture of the current political, economic and social crisis will interest scholars in a number of social science disciplines, especially Third World development and African Studies. M.S. Mukras, Department of Economics, University of Botswana

This book makes a significant contribution to the debate on social, political and economic development in former colonial dependencies. Current problems in Algeria can better be understood from a holistic perspective. Professor Abucar in his review of processes, between 1965 and 1990, has achieved this objective. Sheldon G. Weeks, Director of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Botswana
