Malika Rebai Maamri is Senior Lecturer at the National Postgraduate School of Political Science in Algiers. She holds a PhD jointly supervised by the University of Essex and the University of Algiers.

Rebai Maamri bravely tackles a broad range of themes in her analysis of Algerias struggle with its post-colonial legacy, including women, Berbers and emigrants to France. The result is a fascinating and valuable contribution to understanding complex questions of citizenship, identity and marginalization in post-colonial Algeria. This is a very welcome addition from an Algerian academic to the literature on citizenship and the post-colonial period in North Africa.

Economics and Political Science

The State of Algeria offers a timely and welcome intervention in a debate which has only grown in urgency over the past few months; what does it mean to be Algerian? Indeed, as the energy and enthusiasm that marked the Arab Spring at its peak continue to bleed away, Algerians are again forced to consider the state of their nation. Stylish and sensitive, studied and subtle, illuminating and informative, The State of Algeria both charts and contributes to this introspection, making it an important read to all with an interest in the country today.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This project, which was undertaken under the aegis of the 201112 Cambridge/Africa Collaborative Research Program on Citizenship, Belonging and Political Community in Africa launched by the Centre of African Studies of the University of Cambridge, introduced me to the very best society (Herman Melville).

My debts, both academic and personal, are many and heartfelt. It is a pleasure to thank the various people and institutions for their assistance during my research and its transformation into a publishable form. This book would have never reached its final state without the fellowship the Centre of African studies of the University of Cambridge granted me from October 2011 to March 2012. My greatest debt is therefore in the first place to the CAS where most of the book had been researched. I must single out Professor Megan Vaughan, then Director of the Centre, for special praise. Her support had been unwavering and had taken countless forms.

I should also like to thank Christopher Clapham, then Editor of the Journal of Modern African Studies at the University of Cambridge and John Birchall, Centre of African Studies, whose scholarly guidance helped me clarify my thinking.

But my strength may have faltered if not for the faith of a number of friends and colleagues. In particular, I owe a debt of gratitude to Robert Lowe, Middle East Research Centre Manager at London School of Economics and Political Science who not only offered me a desk and a computer during my numerous visits to LSE, but also the necessary home and inspiring ambiance without which the intellectual ferment underlying this book would have been impossible. I wish also to extend my sincere thanks to John King of The Society for Algerian Studies in London. Both scholars devoted much of their precious time to discuss my project and made numerous contacts to help me. Without their continued efforts and support, I would have been unable to bring my work to a successful completion. Jonathan Hill, expert on the Maghreb, also deserves huge thanks for his extraordinary kindness and generosity of time.

I should like to extend my warmest thanks to the staff of both the Centre of African studies and LSE Middle East Research Centre for their patience in handling my numerous requests with the most helpful and warming good cheer, namely Dorian Addison, Judith Weik and Victoria Jones (CAS), Sarah Masry and Ribale Sleiman-Haida (LSE).

Last but not least, I would like to thank the I.B.Tauris entire Editorial Board for their kind appreciation of my manuscript and Pat FitzGerald for copy-editing it. Thanks are also due to my institution which offered me, these two last years, grants allowing me to pay for my travel expenses to the UK and finalise my book.
