Algerian Literature part two

Algerian literature during the french colonization was

divided between writers who were educated in french schools

and thanking France for colonizing them and those who were

educated in french schools but called for the independence of

Algeria.

Algerian writers who learned in french schools ,in their

writings called for integrating Algeria to France as well as

thanking France for colonizing them because they think that

France bring civilization , development and light to the 

Algerians . Works during this period are : Hadj Hamou "zohra 

women miner" of 1925 . Ibrahim Suleiman "the dancer of 

nael boys " of 1926 as well as Ould Cheick work "Myriam in 

the palm" which deals with a marriage between an Algerian

women and a french man who latter on differ in how to educate

two children : Mary and Jean .However what the Algerian 

writers noticed is that they were not accepted by the french

people as being like them but they still considering the Algerians

as inferior even if they wrotein french language.

- the appearance of movements in many countries calling for

independence influenced the Algerians and resulted in the

events of 8 /05/1945 which influenced the Algerian writers who

graduated from french schools as Mohamed Dib , Katib Yacine

and Mouloud Pharaoh . These writers tried to express the

national cause using the colonizer language .literature of this

period is characterized by writings about the Algerian aim of

independence. Critics did not pay attention to the Algerian

literature however  they considered the work of Katib Yacine

"Nejma " of 1956 as the best work written in the French

Language from a non European person . After the independence

the Algerian writers started to write about the situation of

Algeria after the independence and the Algerians hope for

better future .
