About the Book

The Post-Colonial Society: The Algerian Struggle for Economic, Social, and Political Change explains how Algeria's current political problems are a product of the Algerian struggle for development and traces these problems from the outset of Algerian independence. A struggle for power continues between underprivileged groups and the petite bourgeoisie who have ruled Algeria since independence. The driving forces behind this struggle are the search for equality, justice and individual freedom. The use of religion as a means to achieve power is also explored.

Review :
The author is a very competent and knowledgeable scholar. The content of this book reflects a high level of expertise in many fields of the social sciences. It is well-written, easy to read, and covers a lot of ground. This concise and well-rounded picture of the current political, economic and social crisis will interest scholars in a number of social science disciplines, especially Third World development and African Studies. (Professor M.S. Mukras, Head, Department of Economics, University of Botswana) This book makes a significant contribution to the debate on social, political and economic development in former colonial dependencies. Current problems in Algeria can better be understood from a holistic perspective. Professor Abucar in his review of processes, between 1965 and 1990, has achieved this objective. He is in a unique position to comment on developments in Africa, being from Somalia, fluent in six languages, educated there and in The Netherlands and Canada, and having worked and researched in all parts of the African continent. (Professor Sheldon G. Weeks, Director, Graduate Studies and Research, University of Botswana)
