Pens in Algerian History through the Writings of Ahmed Tawfiq al-Madani and Abu al-Qasim Saadallah A Study of Content and Methodology

Abstract

The present research examines aspects of the historical and intellectual legacy produced by
several Algerian scholars and cultural personalities, through an examination of a selection of their scholarly
works that enriched the Algerian and Arab intellectual heritage, particularly distinguished academic
studies devoted to Algerian history , These works emerged within a broader effort to defend Algeria’s
sovereignty and to challenge colonial discourses that attempted to erase the country’s national identity and
misrepresent its history . Among the works that this study focuses on are those of Ahmed Tawfiq al-Madani
and Abu al-Qasim Saadallah, through a presentation of their writings on the history of Algeria and a study
of their content and methodology.
