Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolution of civil society in Algeria, particularly in the aftermath of the violent conflicts of the 1990s. Despite a dangerous public sphere, numerous associations emerged to advocate for human rights, commemorate victims, and celebrate Algerian culture. With over 93,000 registered associations today, the text examines how these groups contribute to social and political reform amid ongoing turmoil. It highlights the rise of new forms of activism and organized demonstrations following the Arab revolts of 2011, signaling a resilient civil society.
