Abstract/Index
Theoretical framework and introduction of the case study. Gender instrumentalization: towards a working definition. Historical patterns: gender as a political weapon. Colonial feminism and postcolonial critiques: rethinking gender in MENA. The regional context: Maghreb. The Algerian paradigmatic trajectory of gender instrumentalization. The French colonial era and the national liberation. Origin and features of French colonial era (1830-1954). Algerian women’s first organizations. Women’s participation in the war of independence and the struggle over gender meanings. Beyond the combatant/helper binary: repertoires of agency across space, class, coercion and narrative recognition. From wartime participation to postwar containment: why “silencing” is structurally produced. Post-independence and the 1984 family code. Ben Bella’s regime (1963-1965). Beyond party-mediated participation: autonomous women’s activism, the family code and the rise of Islamist opposition (late 1970s–1980s). The 1989 opening and its aftermath: the black decade, terror, and postwar “normalization”. The 1980s: crisis, legitimacy erosion and the prelude of autonomous women’s organization. Competing logics of women’s participation after 1989: Islamist mobilization and autonomous feminist proliferation. The black decade: terror as gendered governance. After the black decade: post-terror “normalization” and the afterlives of women’s mobilization. Algeria’s 2011 moment and the Hirak movement: from contained reform to mass mobilization. Bouteflika’s regime and the Algerian 2011. The Hirak movement: women’s participation, resistance–negotiation repertoires and empowerment constraints.
