L’IDENTITE DANS LA MEMOIRE – LA RECONQUETE DU PASSE CHEZ ASSIA DJEBAR
IDENTITY IN MEMORY – RECOVERING THE PAST IN THE WORK OF THE WRITER ASSIA DJEBAR

Summary/Abstract: One of the main characteristics of Assia Djebar’s writing is the fact that she intersects her personal journey with the past and contemporary history of herself, of her country and of her Algerian community. This is a testimony that she experienced very closely the significant and often tragic events of the colonization. This is the reason why all the protagonists that she created in her novels are concerned with the same burning question: the quest for oneself. Actually, every character seem to be another mirror for the author herself, an author almost obsessed to find out and to reveal the real memory and identity of herself and of her people.
