Berber, Arab, Islamic, and European values mix and sometimes clash as Algeria struggles for peace after more than a half century of war. While converting from socialism to capitalism, Algeria's leaders face major economic problems such as unemployment and inadequate housing. Recent progress in solving Islamic terrorism, Berber unrest, and women's inequality raises hope for a more prosperous future.

The "Nations in Transition series is designed to shed light on nations that are undergoing radical changes in the social or political arena. Each book is written to emphasize historical events that led to or occurred during the upheaval, as well as significant occurrences in the years since. Social factors that provided impetus for radical change are also covered. In each book, numerous primary and secondary source quotations contribute to a lively narrative. Sidebars highlight personalities and topics relevant to the theme of each chapter. Two annotated bibliographies, maps, photographs, and a comprehensive index make each book a valuable tool for student researchers.
