    Introduction to postcolonial literature: comparative studies / Master 2: Literature & Civilization (Curriculum and Lectures)
    (M'hamed Bougara University of Boumerdes : Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of English, 2023) Bouharrour, Karima
    Postcolonialism literature is the critical academic study of the cultural, political and economic legacy of colonialism and imperialism focusing on the impact of human control and exploitation of colonized people and their lands. The field started to emerge in the 1960's, as scholars from previously colonized countries began publishing on the lingering effects of colonialism, developing a critical theory analysis of the history, culture, literature, and discourse of (usually European) imperial power.

    Women At The Crossroads Of Nationhood: Gender, Nationalism And Patriarchy In Post-colonial Algeria And Egypt
    (Université de Blida 2, 2025) Khireddine, Amel; Bouharrour, Karima
    Throughout history, Arab male nationalists have formulated a limited gendered conception of national identity wherein women are relegated to an inferior position. This paper is an attempt to shed light on the pejorative situation of Arab women during and after Western colonisation, represented here by Algerian and Egyptian women. Algerian women, whose role proved decisive in liberating their country, found themselves victims of their former male veterans who urged them to peacefully return to the household after decolonisation. With the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the 1980s and the ensuing Black Decade, the situation of Algerian women, in a tremendously patriarchal oppressive society, further deteriorated. The situation of the Egyptian women was no better. While being fervent participants in the making of the Egyptian nation, Egyptian women fell under the subjugation of the patriarch who denied them all rights of equality both in the private and public spheres, following independence.
