Drawing on substantial new scholarship and over a decade of research, this book explores the dramatic modern history of Africa's largest country. The author places Algerian society at the center of the story, tracing the continuities and the resilience of Algeria's people and their cultures through the changes and crises that have marked the country, from the arrival of the Ottomans in the sixteenth century to the aftermath of the 2011 Arab Uprisings.
