Desperation and Disillusionment in Algeria
This chapter examines the socio-political climate in Algeria, focusing on youth oppression and the terms 'hogra' and 'haraga' that embody their feelings of humiliation and illegal emigration. It discusses the government's dependency on oil revenue amid high unemployment, the recent political landscape post-Bouteflika, and the complex national identity that struggles with both pride and paranoia.
