For Algerian Americans
The Identity Between the War of Independence and the Diaspora
Inherit the war, name who you are in diaspora.
For the Algerian American person working through what it means to carry Algerian identity — its anticolonial independence struggle, its Amazigh and Arab heritage, its post-independence complexity — into an American life
The Name It First Experience
Algeria's independence struggle is one of the defining anticolonial stories of the twentieth century. You carry that history — the pride of it, the cost of it, the complicated legacy of what came after — into America. You also carry Algerian culture: Amazigh languages, Arabic, French, the specific warmth of Algerian family. This workbook is about naming what you're carrying and what being Algerian American means to you. You leave with The Algerian American Identity Statement — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does Algerian identity mean to you — the culture, the history, the specific thing that is yours?
- What do you love about being Algerian that you carry into your American life?
- What does Algeria's independence story mean for who you are in the diaspora?
