Aitel In North Africa, as elsewhere, once independence was gained, other struggles emerged though with different objectives and in different forms and contexts. Writers in particular have played a key role addressing some of the major debates concerning religion, national tradition, language, music, and even the form of everyday life. In the past decades, writers have been engulfed in a new wave of cultural change as the North African populace has been deeply influenced by new Islamicist movements, and the politics of Arabicization. Offered every other year.

Aitel Over the last thirty years a new generation of French citizens has emerged. These are young people of French and North African descent, commonly known as "beur."Many have grown up in France, in the working class suburbs, or banlieues, major French cities. Indeed, many know little of their family's culture and language, and feel more at "home" in France, though with dailydiscrimination they are always reminded that they are not really "French." The texts will draw on recent politicaland social commentary on religion and culture and we will also read literary texts. The films will engage a range of topics, such as exile and terrorism, all within the context of the "beur" experience. Offered every otheryear.
