Ethnic borders and identity politicization in Algeria

Abstract EN

The current study investigated the present ethnicities in the social structure of Algeria, and the extent to which there is real ethnic differentiation between these components.

thereby the following questions are raised: is there any integration or disharmony between ethnic groups? does ethnic integration really targeted in Algeria? are there attempts to fabricate societal pluralism in an environment that was largely homogeneous? through these questions, we address the attempt to politicize social distinctions in Algeria, after that has been expressing a flexible cultural pluralism, and considered as a social wealth by politicizing the sub-“identities” and highlighting and deepening the distinctions.
