De malaise van de multiculturaliteit
Migraties en de multiculturen die daar rechtstreeks uit voortvloeien, zijn door de hele beschavingsgeschiedenis eerder regel dan uitzondering. In elk rijk werd er gemengd en gemixt, geëmigreerd en geïmmigreerd, meestal met véél bloed, zweet en tranen. Toch heeft het ontzettend lang geduurd alvorens de wetten en mores die stelden wat mocht en niet mocht kritisch in vraag werden gesteld. De mensenrechten bijvoorbeeld, een vrij recente humane uitvinding, wordenbegrijpelijkerwijs met alle kracht verdedigd en het minste euvel in dat verband wordt als een onmiddellijk te verwijderen smet gezien. De dwangmatigheid echter waarmee dat geschiedde en de naïviteit die daarbij tentoongespreid wer...

Algeria, a french creation ? Deconstruction of the colonial lie
For several decades, there has been a certain discourse that is heard on various French television platforms from certain well-known media personalities. This tirade has as its ideological substance the most absolute denial of the existence of a state, a nation, and even a pre-colonial Algerian identity. Indeed, according to these intellectuals and other polemicists, present-day Algeria owes its existence only to the French colonial enterprise of the early 19th century and the entry of French troops into the central Maghreb. Before the conquest, it is said, this vast land in North Africa had no trace of civilization, and was populated by a conglomerate of Bedouin tribes whose obvious inferio...

Revival of Political Islam in the Aftermath of the Arab Uprisings
Regime change during the Arab Spring allowed Islamist political forces that had long been marginalized to achieve political influence in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. Morocco's first government led by an Islamist party has been in power since January 2012. This trend caused widespread concern over the future direction of these states; but despite the tragic example of Egypt, few negative predictions have yet been borne out. The author cautions against an overly simplistic assessment of this rise in the influence and power of political Islam. He shows that the political crises besetting each of these Islamist governments are not necessarily of their own making, but instead are determined by objective circumstances. Dr. El-Katiri describes how, in several key respects, the aims of Islamist parties are in line with U.S. aspirations for the region.
A Palace in the Old Village
From 'Morocco's greatest living author' (The Guardian) comes a heartbreaking novel about parents and children, the powerful pull of home and the yearning for tradition and family. Mohammed has spent the past 40 years working in France. As he approaches retirement, he takes stock of his life - his devotion to Islam and to his assimilated children - and decides to return to Morocco, where he spends his life's savings building the biggest house in the village and waiting for his children and grandchildren to come and be with him.
