A new book on internal and international displacement


Veronica Fynn Bruey

Abstract

When Exeter University Press notified the Journal of Internal Displacement about the publication of Algerian Women and Diasporic  Experience: From the Black Decade to the Hirak by Latefa Narriman Guemar, the link between the terms diaspora and displacement was  not instantly obvious. In addition to issues around geographical identities, displacement, and (forced) migration, Algerian Women and  Diasporic Experience engages with the “Islamic State” (dawla Islamiya), “Foreign interference” (ayadi kharijiya), exile (Elghorba/ghrib),  “those who risk their life to migrate” (harragas), “injustice” (hogra), “Gangs working within the Algerian state” (issaba), “Holy fighters”  (jihad), “resistance” (moukawama), no constitution (la mithaq), “implied sexual aggression” (yetbelaouek) and the “Algerian political  protest movement” (Hirak).
