By the 1990's, however, its revolutionary political model had collapsed, degenerating into a savage conflict between the military and Islamist guerillas that killed some 200,000 citizens. In this lucid and gripping account, Martin Evans and John Phillips explore Algeria's recent and very bloody history, demonstrating how the high hopes of independence turned into anger as young Algerians grew increasingly alienated. Unemployed, frustrated by the corrupt military regime, and excluded by the West, the post-independence generation needed new heroes, and some found them in Osama bin Laden and the rising Islamist movement. Evans and Phillips trace the complex roots of this alienation, arguing that Algeria's predicament-political instability, pressing economic and social problems, bad governance, a disenfranchised youth-is emblematic of an arc of insecurity stretching from Morocco to Indonesia. Looking back at the pre-colonial and colonial periods, they place Algeria's complex present into historical context, demonstrating how successive governments have manipulated the past for their own ends. The result is a fractured society with a complicated and bitter relationship with the Western powers-and an increasing tendency to export terrorism to France, America, and beyond.Islam and politicsAlgeriaAlgeriaHistory1962-1990AlgeriaHistory1990-Electronic books.Islam and politics965.05Evans Martin1964-1053041Phillips John499780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452811003321Algeria2484684UNINA02899nam 2200697 a 450 991077782000332120200520144314.01-282-72611-097866127261180-8203-3086-8(CKB)1000000000473433(OCoLC)182622856(CaPaEBR)ebrary10405170(SSID)ssj0000261906(PQKBManifestationID)11216091(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000261906(PQKBWorkID)10269047(PQKB)10871478(MdBmJHUP)muse14548(Au-PeEL)EBL3038872(CaPaEBR)ebr10405170(MiAaPQ)EBC3038872(EXLCZ)99100000000047343320050325d2005 ub 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrTraveling south[electronic resource] travel narratives and the construction of American identity /John D.
