The role & influence of the ideological & political basis of Algeria's nationalist movement are held to be central to current debates on Algeria; the literature dedicated to these issues is analyzed. The teaching models of different generations of nationalists are addressed in a discussion of how colonialist powers precipitated the destruction of the traditional educational system. Research on Algeria's intellectual elite & their political ideologies is reviewed, arguing that a global context dominated by the emergence in Europe of new national identities mobilized the Algerian intellectual class, which drew connections between their experiences & those of people in the Middle East. Studies on Muslim nationalism in Algeria are discussed, with a focus on the influence of WWI & WWII, anti-imperialist & anticolonialist ideas, communist movements, & resistance to Jewish & Christian influences. It is contended that Algerians have found that following the example of Middle Eastern Islamist movements has destroyed the family unit & other traditional structures. D. Weibel
