‘The shabiba islamiyya of Algiers: Education, authority, and colonial control, 1921-1957’ (original) (raw)

The paper examines the role of collaborative mediation under colonial rule in Algeria from 1921 to 1957, challenging existing theories that prioritize indigenous collaboration as crucial for maintaining colonial control. It highlights the atypical historical context of Algeria, where collaboration played a limited role, even as nationalist movements began to arise. Through a focused study on the Shabiba Islamiyya, the research explores how cultural and educational institutions contributed to the dynamics of authority and resistance within the colonial framework.
