La vengeance de Mehdi Baadi
La guerre d'Algérie, une guerre qui s'est longtemps refusée à dire son nom, demeure trois générations plus tard un sujet hautement polémique. Le sort réservé aux supplétifs, qu'ils soient harkis, mokhaznis, ou policiers ruraux, a fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Le harki Mehdi Baadi, personnage de fiction, a été le héros malheureux d'une Algérie à feu et à sang. En dépit des événements il a continué de croire en la France. Il l'a rejointe en soixante-deux dans des conditions tragiques, connu la vie des camps où il s'est retrouvé entassé avec des milliers de coreligionnaires en attente d'un toit, d'un emploi, d'un retour à la dignité...
Representing Algerian Women
This monograph explores the ways in which canonical Francophone Algerian authors, writing in the late-colonial period (1945–1962), namely Kateb Yacine, Mohammed Dib, Mouloud Feraoun, Mouloud Mammeri and Assia Djebar, approached the representation of Algerian women through literature. The book initially argues that a masculine domination of public fields of representation in Algeria contributed to a postcolonial marginalization of women as public agents. However, it crucially also argues that the canonical writers of the period, who were mostly male, both textually acknowledged their inability to articulate the experiences and subjectivity of the feminine Other and deployed a remarkable var...
Jihad in the West
Militant Salafism is one of the most significant movements in politics today. Unfortunately its significance has not been matched by understanding. To begin to address this knowledge deficit this book argues that, rather than the largely unhelpful pursuit of individual 'root causes' offered in much of the literature, we would be better served by looking at the factors that have enabled and facilitated a particular political imaginary. That political imaginary is one that allows individuals to conceive of themselves as integral members of a global battle waged between the forces of Islam and the West, something that lies at the heart of militant Salafism. Frazer Egerton shows how the ubiquity of modern media and the prevalence of movement have allowed for a transformation of existing beliefs into an ideology supportive of militant Salafism against the West amongst Western Muslims.

Da Mussolini a Gheddafi
Splendido nella sua uniforme, in piedi nella macchina, guardava oltre la folla e sorrideva con il volto leg-germente inclinato all’indietro. Così Angelo Del Boca descrive il suo primo incontro con uno dei personaggi che avrebbero segnato la storia del Novecento Ancora ragazzino, rimarrà colpito dalla perfetta somiglianza tra l’uomo che aveva di fronte a sé e l’immagine che lo ritraeva sulla medaglia portata al petto da tanti gio-vani balilla come lui. Rivedrà quel nuovo Cesare pochi anni dopo, in Germania, in un campo di addestra-mento per il ricostituito esercito italiano. Già non era più l’intrepido condottiero, ma il capo di uno Stato di-mezzato, sprovvisto della sua capital...
