This book examines the role of foreign languages and cultures in
the Algerian educational system, highlighting how cultural
imperialism and supremacy persist through damaging language
ideologies and the privileging of colonial languages such as French
and English. The authors challenge the claim that the Algerian
educational system can be considered 'neutral', arguing instead
that it was and still is the outcome of a conflict between Arabised
and Francophone elites, serving strategic and ideological
objectives rather than cultural or pedagogical goals. This book
will be relevant to students and scholars of language education,
language policy and planning, and the history and politics of the
Arab and Muslim world, especially those interested in the influence
of Western languages and cultures and the democratisation of
educational systems.
