Kateb Yacine
Kateb Yacine (1929–1989) was an Algerian writer and dramatist. Arrested as a teenager after the Sétif demonstrations of 1945, he drew on that experience in his novel Nedjma (1956), a founding work of modern Algerian literature in French. Later he turned to theatre in Algerian Arabic and Berber to reach a popular audience.
