Algeria: Nation, Culture and Transnationalism covers a specific period of time (1988-2013) that has taken on a significantly different socio-political configuration to that of the first 25 years of post-independence Algeria (1962-1987). Since 1988, Algeria has seen democratic contestation, civil conflict between state and Islamist parties and, over the past 10 years, an uneasy peace. It was in the same period that the country endured economic decline and a painful transition to a more liberal economy. Less than twenty years ago Algeria was seen as a 'failed state' yet it is now perceived as having a role in the 'stabilization' of North Africa in the wake of the Arab Spring. Central to this transformation has been a turn in Algeria's economic fortunes. The Algerian army and political elite have, over the past 10 years, hugely benefitted from revenues derived from its hydrocarbon exports and use such revenues to manage a society in which a majority depend on state subsidies and public sector employment. Contemporary Algeria, argues Hugh Roberts (2003), is marked by an emerging post-nationalism and a sense that the elite has lost the political bearings that shaped the nation after 1962. There is an on-going tension generated by official positions that remain vigorously centripetal and a more informal, local yet transnational, dynamics that is often centrifugal in effect. The result is a society characterised by a range of oppositions that bear upon the evolution of the state and the lives of ordinary Algerians. Algeria has been dramatically marked by competing forces: state nationalism and grassroots nationalist disenchantment; Islamism and a version of Islam that accommodates greater plurality; a national economy - and this includes cultural production - that is responding to globalization; the conflict of the 1990s and its contemporary legacy. The contributions to this book focus on the impact of such forces across a range of interests in contemporary Algeria.

Kenadsa et Timimoun, deux ensembles (un ksar est un lieu fortifié d'Afrique du Nord) de ksour du sud-ouest algérien, sont les témoins d'un passé aujourd'hui bousculé par une rationalisation de l'espace. Or, les contraintes rationnelles écosystémiques et technologiques ne suffisent pas à expliquer le choix du site et la morphologie des établissements humains: la donnée spirituelle est parfois bien plus déterminante. Les logiques qui déterminent l'organisation, l'aménagement et l'occupation de l'espace relèvent ici davantage du sacré que de l'économique. Pour le démontrer, l'auteur a choisi, dans cet essai d'anthropologie culturelle, de s'attacher plus particulièrement à la fête du mawlid, commémoration de la naissance du Prophète mais aussi fête du ksar et de son saint. La fête, en tant que retour sur les jalons constitutifs de la mémoire collective, met en lumière les fondements de la communauté. Les sites s'érigent alors en lieux débordants de sacré qui balisent les espaces en leur donnant du sens. En utilisant des sources locales inédites et des archives coloniales, en mettant à profit une longue expérience du terrain, l'auteur présente et analyse les multiples formes entrelacées de l'islam saharien (islam classique, populaire, mystique et prophylactique). C'est un islam vivant, inscrit dans les lieux, les paroles et les actes qu'Abderrahmane Moussaoui nous permet d'approcher le temps d'un livre.
