Louisa Yousfi Publishes 'La Grande Méthode' on Algerian Diaspora
Journalist and essayist Louisa Yousfi releases her new book 'La Grande Méthode', which explores the fragmented narratives of descendants of Algerian immigration. The work delves into family secrets and the struggle to find one's place within national identity, both in France and Algeria. Yousfi, who previously gained attention with 'Rester barbare'—a phrase borrowed from Algerian writer Kateb Yacine—continues to blend rage, humor, and conviction in her writing. The book was discussed on RFI's program 'En Sol Majeur' on June 21, 2026, with a playlist including Booba's 'Boolbi' and Rachid Taha's 'Ya rayah'.
