Turning Tides

Turning Tides: Algeria will discuss the history of the colonization and subsequent battles which plagued Algeria. The first episode, Courage of Despair, will cover the period from 1830 to 1871, in which Algeria was invaded and colonized by the French -- all while managing their own internal secular struggles, as well as Emir Abd al-Qadir's stalwart defense of his people and the Islamic religion in the face of genocide.
