Historiography of algerian nationalism : some ideological aspects
This paper analyzes, from a political and historical perspectives, the impact of each of the political groupings on the algerian nationalist movement. Based on some of the old and recent works, the study shows that the ideological basis of the algerian nationalism was determined by the interelations between liberal and conservative organisations in their struggle against the colonial power. Religion soon appeared to be the approriate means to reach the algerian public opinion. This factor largely explains the weak impact of secular control over political and social institutions in an independent algerian society.
