Author Description

Social Currents In North Africa Is A Multi-disciplinary Analysis Of The Social Phenomena Unfolding In The Maghreb Today. The Contributors Analyse The Genealogies Of Contemporary North African Behavioral And Ideological Norms, And Offer Insights Into Post-arab Spring Governance And Today's Social And Political Trends. The Book Situates Regional Developments Within Broader International Currents, Without Forgoing The Distinct Features Of Each Socio-historical Context. With Its Common Historical, Cultural, And Socio-economic Foundations, The Maghreb Is A Cohesive Area Of Study That Allows For Greater Understanding Of Domestic Developments From Both Single-country And Comparative Perspectives. This Volume Refines The Geo-historical Unity Of The Maghreb By Accounting For Social Connections, Both Within The Nation-state And Across Political Boundaries And Historical Eras. It Illustrates That Non-institutional Phenomena Are Equally Formative To The Ongoing Project Of Post-colonial Sovereignty, To Social Construction And Deployments Of State Power, And To Local Outlooks On Social Equity, Economic Prospects, And Cultural Identity.
