From Algeria to the Future: Transnational Perspective on Kabyle Immigration to the Czech Republic

Project goals

Theaim of this project is to conduct intensive anthropological fieldwork amongKabyle immigrants in the Czech Republic and in their home country – Algeria –and publish a monograph based on this fieldwork. I will study the Kabyleimmigration in the Czech Republic by resorting to an anthropologicalmethodology and a holistic approach. I will focus on immigrants’ transnationalsocial networks and analyze the dynamics of deterritorialized immigrants’identities focusing on the interconnection between ethnic (Kabyle), national(Algerian), and religious (Muslim) identity. In the fieldwork in Algeria, Iwill investigate the social and economic background of immigrants’ families,impact of emigration on life in Kabylia and factors that encourage the processof emigration.

  • Project results evaluation

    A significant finding of the project was that young Algerian Arabs criticize current regime as regime of non-believers and see the solution in “true”, i.e. fundamentalist Islam as the moral alternative to the “rotten capitalist West”, which contrast with Kabyle youth who see their only alternative in Western-style democracy.
