Le mouvement étudiant et la question des langues en Algérie (1962-1965) : à propos d’un épisode méconnu de l’histoire de l’UGEMA-UNEA by Yassine Temlali

“…In reconstructing this obscure episode in the light of many sources, including the accounts of participants, this article explores the attitude of the student movement, in the immediate post-independence period (1962–1965), to the question of Berber languages, which were spoken by a fifth of the population but which at the time enjoyed no explicit juridical status. It looks more generally at the positions of this movement on the linguistic problem in Algeria in a context in which the promotion of the “national language”, Arabic, had to reckon with the first questioning of the Arabo-Islamic unanimity imposed by the need for unity against the French occupier.I suggest that the burial of these proposals in favour of Berber languages should be interpreted in the light of the cultural doctrine of the Algerian Communist Party (PCA), then dominant within the framework of the UGEMA, and its general attitude towards the “socialist” regime of Ahmed Ben Bella. …”
