S7 E2: The Stories We Carry: The Sealwoman's Gift by Sally Magnusson In 1627, hundreds of Icelanders were taken from their homes and carried across the sea into slavery in Algiers. Among them were a Lutheran minister, his wife Ásta, and their children.In The Sealwoman's Gift, Sally Magnusson enters one of the silences left behind by history. While the captivity of Reverend Ólafur Egilsson was recorded, far less is known about what his wife experienced. Through imagination grounded in historical events, Magnusson gives Ásta a voice—and places the stories of women, mothers, and captives at the centre of the narrative.Separated from her homeland and confronted by unimaginable loss, Ásta carries one precious inheritance with her: the Icelandic sagas and stories held within her memory. They become a source of courage, connection, and survival in a world she could never have imagined.In this episode of The Book Dialogue, Sarah and Rebecca discuss The Sealwoman's Gift by Sally Magnusson—a novel of resilience, love, displacement, hope, and redemption. Together, they reflect on the power of storytelling to preserve identity, the complicated meaning of home, and the human capacity to endure circumstances that cannot be changed.Their conversation also turns to Viktor Frankl, who wrote:“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”Ásta cannot return to the life she once knew, nor can she remain untouched by the world into which she has been carried. Her story asks whether adapting to survive means surrendering the person we once were or discovering a self we could not have known under different circumstances.The Sealwoman's Gift leaves us with profound questions about captivity and freedom, exile and belonging, and the redemptive possibilities of love and hope. When every possible choice carries loss, where does freedom truly reside? And when our circumstances cannot be changed, how might we find the courage to change while still holding fast to who we are?Sarah & Rebecca

The Quran verse that justified enslaving 700 American sailors, and the war it triggered just years after the Revolution. In this episode, historian Bill Federer reveals the forgotten story of the Barbary pirates: a demand rooted in Islamic scripture, a 20% tribute tax that drained the U.S. federal budget, and the American sailors who spent years chained in the dungeons of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. Lance Wallnau and Federer trace how this crisis forced the Founders to build a stronger federal government, one capable of raising a navy and standing up to a threat most Americans have never been taught about. Along the way, they unpack Jefferson's direct meeting with a Muslim ambassador who cited the Quran to justify the enslavement of non-believers, and how that confrontation shaped early American foreign policy. It's a story about scripture used to justify conquest, and a young nation forced to decide what it would fight to protect Podcast Episode 2199: The Verse In The Quran That Started a War With America | don't miss this!

After Barbary: Algeria's Roles in the French and American Empires (Cornell University Press, 2025) by Dr. Timothy Mason Roberts explores the connection between the United States and North Africa between the Barbary Wars of the early nineteenth century and the era of European decolonization after World War II. Dr. Roberts offers a new approach to the study of empires, highlighting the significance of Algeria in French-American relations from France's first occupation of the country through the first years of independence of the Republic of Algeria. As Dr. Roberts demonstrates, imperial authorities in Washington, DC; Paris; and Algiers rarely collaborated intentionally in institutional partnerships or alliances. Rather, American, French, and Algerian politicians, soldiers, writers, and revolutionaries—often acting at cross purposes and across political and cultural boundaries—sought power by imagining and constructing Algeria as a fissured, dynamic, transimperial space. Focusing on issues of settler colonialism, irregular warfare, racialized citizenship, territorial incorporation, and pan-African identity, After Barbary shows how French Algeria helped make the American and French empires. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Ricardo Karam sits down with Antonio Vincenti in a conversation that goes beyond advertising to explore a journey that reshaped public space across Arab cities, turning the street from chaos into a visual language that shapes urban memory.From Lebanon to Amman, Baghdad, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco, Africa, and Europe, Antonio reflects on how “Picasso” began as an outdoor advertising idea and evolved into a broader vision tied to the city and the way people experience public space. The discussion looks at outdoor advertising as part of the urban fabric, where image and city merge, and the street becomes a cultural layer beyond commercial use, within complex environments that balance order, beauty, and chaos. It also touches on expansion beyond Lebanon into Africa, the Gulf, and Europe, and the ambitions, challenges, and key decisions that shaped that journey. On a human level, the conversation explores Antonio beyond business, the impact of success on personal and family life, and the hidden cost of long-term ambition.Join Ricardo Karam and Antonio Vincenti in a conversation about cities, image, creativity, and the lasting impact of how we see the world.في هذا اللقاء، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع أنطونيو فينسنتي في حوارٍ يتجاوز عالم الإعلانات ليغوص في مسار رجلٍ أعاد تشكيل الفضاء العام في عدد من المدن العربية، وحوّل الشارع من مساحة فوضى إلى لغة بصرية تصنع الذاكرة اليومية للمدن.من لبنان إلى عمّان، بغداد، الجزائر، تونس، المغرب، إفريقيا وأوروبا، يستعيد أنطونيو كيف بدأت "بيكاسو" كفكرة في الإعلان الخارجي، لتتحوّل إلى مشروع أوسع يرتبط بالمدينة نفسها وبطريقة رؤية الناس للفضاء العام.يتناول الحوار الإعلان الخارجي كجزء من النسيج الحضري، حيث تمتزج الصورة بالمدينة، ويتحوّل الشارع إلى مساحة بصرية وثقافية تتجاوز البعد التجاري، في بيئات عربية معقّدة تتطلب موازنة دقيقة بين النظام والجمال والفوضى. كما يمتد النقاش إلى تجربة التوسع خارج لبنان نحو إفريقيا والخليج وأوروبا، وما حملته من طموحات وتحديات وخيارات مفصلية في مسار النمو. وفي البعد الإنساني، يقترب الحوار من شخصية أنطونيو خارج إطار الأعمال، ومن أثر النجاح على الحياة الشخصية والعائلية، والثمن الخفي للطموح الطويل.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وأنطونيو فينسنتي في حوارٍ حول المدينة، الصورة، الإبداع، ومعنى أن يترك الإنسان أثراً في الطريقة التي نرى بها العالم.

For centuries, tens of millions of Africans were sold at Islamic slave markets from Timbuktu on the Niger River, where the canoe meets the caravan, to Khartoum, to the Zanzibar coast on the Indian Ocean.  In addition, over a million Europeans were captured and sold at Muslim slave markets in Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia and Libya.Camp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.  We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.

In the early 1990s, Algeria was engulfed by a brutal civil conflict, as armed Islamist groups fought the state and civilians lived in fear. Foreigners were urged to leave, and many did. But Sister Lourdes Migueles, a Spanish Augustinian nun who had already spent decades serving in Algeria, chose to stay.As the violence worsened, religious figures also became targets. In October 1994, two of Sister Lourdes's fellow nuns, Caridad Alvarez and Esther Paniagua, were shot dead near their convent as they returned from work. Sister Lourdes remembers hearing the gunshots, the panic in the street, and realising immediately that it was her fellow Sisters who had been attacked. Soon afterwards, she was ordered by her superiors to leave Algeria, something she says caused her deep pain, as though she had abandoned the country she loved.Years later, she returned to Algiers, where she still lives and works today, helping women and children.

This episode explores the exhausting intersection of global faith and digital surrealism, navigating the tension between Pope Leo XIV's historic visit to the Great Mosque of Algiers and his escalating public friction with President Trump. We examine the bizarre cultural emergence of "AI Jesus" and the viral messianic imagery dominating social feeds, all while grounding the conversation in the endurance required by Galatians 6:9. In a landscape of rapid-fire headlines and technological shifts, we discuss how to remain steadfast in "well-doing" without succumbing to the weariness of a fractured world.

Guy Fieri responds to backlash after viral moment at the UFC fight, Congress passes "Fitness Tax Credit Act of 2026", Baby Jessica has been arrested for domestic violence, Pope Leo XIV visited the Great Mosque of Algiers, and the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports showed its first concrete results yesterday, and today is TAX DAY...

Pope Leo XIV has said he has “no fear of the Trump administration”, after his criticism of the Iran war drew scorn from President Donald Trump. On Sunday, the US President called the Pope “weak on crime and terrible on foreign policy”, and posted a now-deleted AI image of himself depicted as a Christ-like figure.The posts caused outrage among Catholics and the religious right, but he has said he will not apologise to the Pope. We speak to BBC presenter and author Edward Stourton, who has reported on religious affairs and US politics for decades, about what happens when an American president takes on an American Pope.

Pope Leo XIV has started his 11-day visit of four African countries. The Pontiff arrived in Algeria on Monday, where he called for peace, forgiveness and justice at the Martyrs monument in the capital, Algiers. The Pope is expected to visit Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. Pope Leo XIV wants to "turn the world's attention to Africa" according to a senior Vatican official. More than a fifth of the world's Catholics are in Africa, making it one of the fastest-growing regions for the Church.Also - we hear from the Head of African Music at YouTube on how creators can earn more on the platform.

//The Wire//2300Z April 13, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MAJOR ESCALATIONS REPORTED IN MIDDLE EAST AFTER PEACE TALKS FAIL. AMERICAN NAVAL BLOCKADE ANNOUNCED IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. TERRORIST ATTACK REPORTED IN ALGERIA DURING POPE'S VISIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Over the weekend, negotiations between the United States and Iran failed to produce any sort of agreement. Both parties have returned to their respective countries, and the potential for future negotiations remains unclear. Shortly after negotiations concluded, President Trump announced the implementation of a naval blockade of the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. The post specifically stated that the U.S. Navy will blockade "any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz". A few hours later, CENTCOM posted an article on the implementation of this policy, stating that "The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman".Lebanon: The war continues as Israeli forces continue their advance to the Litani River. Clearance operations have been on going in the south, with most villages within a few miles of the traditional border between Lebanon and Israel having been either bombed or bulldozed over the past few years with the goal of establishing a buffer zone.Hungary: Yesterday, the results of the general election resulted in sitting Prime Minister Viktor Orban being replaced by Peter Magyar after holding power for 16 years.Algeria: This morning two IED attacks took place in Blida, which took the form of two assailants wearing explosive belts attempting to target a crowd near the National Police Headquarters. Analyst Comment: These attacks coincided with Pope Leo XIV's visit to Algiers. Consequently, local media is speculating that these attackers were on their way to target the Pope, and got discovered, prompting their detonation. However, considering that the attackers were on foot at the time (and Blida is a long way from Algiers, where the Pope was located), a more likely theory is that this attack was targeting the police station. This theory is supported by the rather graphic video of at least one of the attacks. These types of attacks are extremely common throughout the third-world, as low-level insurgent groups sometimes prefer to conduct attacks during a high-profile visit, so as to amplify the message of their cause. In this case however, nobody survived to convey what group actually conducted the attack, so pending a group claiming credit, the overall motive for this terror attack remains unknown.Eastern Pacific: Overnight strikes on narco-vessels continued throughout the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility, with multiple airstrikes being reported in the general vicinity of the Caribbean.Analyst Comment: While attention has been diverted to the Middle East, Operation Southern Spear has been continuing, with strikes on fastboats being reported regularly this entire time. Most of the more recent strikes have been conducted not in the Caribbean specifically, but in undisclosed regions of the Pacific Ocean (probably off the coast of Ecuador, where joint American operations have been increasing over the past few weeks).-HomeFront-New York: A mass stabbing attack was reported at the Grand Central Terminal subway station on Saturday, after an assailant began attacking a crowd of people on the platform. Police officers on the platform shot and killed the assailant immediately after the attack began. Concerning casualties, 3x elderly victims were wounded during the attack and all are expected to survive. The assailant has been identified as Anthony Griffin, and a family friend stated that Griffin was known to have mental health issues and that he was known to

Algerian newspaper editor Kamel Mansari talks with Podcast Host Rosemary Armao about what he calls America's catastrophic war against Iran.

Cinema Before the World: The Global Routes of the Lumière Brothers (Fordham UP, 2026) investigates the transnational origins of filmmaking by focusing on a case study in world cinema—the 1896-1897 voyage of one of the Lumière Brothers camera operators, Alexandre Promio, across North Africa and the Middle East. The book shows how the sites in these early films are not simply backdrops, but integral to film form and its global history. Connecting a series of filmic principles (framing, tracking shots, close-ups) to the sites where they are made visible (a rooftop in Algiers, a train station and the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem), Allan unsettles a familiar narrative of imperial vision. In the interplay of local history and global media, he highlights tensions between ethnography, observation, and visual capture, revealing how the Lumière Brothers films persist as living archives. The book evokes a formative moment when cinema stood before the world—both as a technological marvel and as a medium that shaped how space and time were perceived. Tracing a journey from Algeria to Egypt and Palestine, and moving across media from lithography to photography and panoramas, Allan shows how in the hands of later filmmakers, such as Egyptian director Youssef Chahine and the Syrian collective Abounaddara, the Lumière films continue to enrich and inform visions of what cinema—and the world—can be. Cinema before the World offers a critical historical intervention in the global story of the cinematograph and a visionary method for film scholarship grounded in transnational analysis across languages, regions, and media. Michael Allan is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Cinema Studies at the University of Oregon. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton, 2016, winner, MLA First Book Prize) and serves as editor of the journal Comparative Literature.

In this episode of the Africa Five-a-Side podcast, we react to Rhulani Mokwena's decision to leave MC Algiers for Ittihad Tripoli in Libya.

A soundscape mix from the upcoming album 'e.a.l. (euro arab lovergirl)'. a diaspora girl travels back in time to Disco Magreb in Oran, Algeria. After listening to Raï classics on dusty cassette tapes, she walks into jardin d'essai du hamma in Algiers. She gets lost in the garden's many paths, tries to call a best friend, but with no signal. Instead she listens to echoes of time, conversations and birds in the trees. Flying back to Europe over the Djurdjura mountains, she drifts off, surrounded by the airy vocals of Djurdjura on her silver-green iPod.

Today we watch one of the greatest war films ever made and the zenith of Italian neo-realism, Gillo Pontecorvo's 'The Battle of Algiers'. I discuss Pontecorvo's incredible backstory of fighting against the fascists in the Italian resistance and the unlikely journey that led him to creating this film with the victorious National Liberation Front of Algeria. After the film we are joined by @itsgothdad who shares his incredible journey from soldier to activist and how watching 'The Battle of Algiers' in his officer training shaped his view of America's Global War on Terror.In 2026, our programming in ATL focuses on 'Films Against Fascism' - a selection of films from around the world that deal with anti-fascist themes and take a stand against authoritarianism. These screenings are presented in partnership with Indivisible ATL.Follow us on instagram for info about our upcoming shows!Email us: behindtheslatepod@gmail.comInstagram: @behindtheslatepodTikTok: @behindtheslatepodYouTube: @behindtheslatepodcast This is a public episode.

Dave McArthur welcomes guest hosts Chris Gragg, Joe Iglesias, and Andrew Park to discuss the 1966 film The Battle of Algiers while drinking martinis.

We explore the interconnected artistic and political lives of figures from the Maghreb and the Black diaspora who collaborated in North Africa from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s, forming what our guest calls the Maghreb Generation, and cover the iconic 1969 Pan-African Festival of Algiers, where cultural figures like Nina Simone and political groups like the Black Panthers were present. Assistant Professor of History at Cornell University and author of "Maghreb Noir: The Militant Artist of North Africa and the Struggle for a Pan-African Postcolonial Future," Dr. Paraska Tolan-Szkilnik discusses her work which re-centers artists and intellectuals from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia as key political actors in the mid-20th-century anti-colonial and pan-African movements. Dr. Tolan-Szkilnik explains how these militant artists (deeply influenced by thinkers like Frantz Fanon) championed a philosophy of continued, revolutionary decolonization beyond flag independence. The episode details the political and personal risks these activists faced, including imprisonment for figures like Moroccan poet Abdellatif Laâbi and the assassination of Algerian poet Jean Sénac. Finally, the conversation explores film as a revolutionary form of culture for the highly illiterate populace and the enduring legacy of this generation's radical vision for South-South solidarity.   0:53 Introduction 1:37 The Path to Pan-Africanism and the Maghreb 5:51 The Pan-African Festival of Algiers (1969) 7:23 The Substance of Revolution: Beyond the Speeches 10:00 The African Union, Liberation Movements, and Algiers 12:47 Questions of Race and Algerian Reactions to Blackness 14:19 North Africa as One Entity and French Colonial Borders 16:40 Central Figures of the Maghreb Generation 23:34 Defining the "Militant Artist" 25:15 The Philosophical DNA: Continued Decolonization 26:38 Frantz Fanon as Intellectual Forefather 27:44 The Autocratic Grind: Exile, Jail, and Death 34:54 The Moroccan Poet Abdellatif Laâbi and Souffles 40:09 Film as Revolutionary Culture 45:48 Turning Away from the West 49:00 The Striking Life of Jean Sénac 53:11 Poetry of Enthusiasm and Disillusionment   Paraska Tolan-Szkilnik is a historian of 20th century Africa and the Middle East. She specializes in questions of race, gender, and sex in the post-colonial Maghreb. She has published in Jadaliyya, the Arab Studies Journal, World Art, Monde(s), The Markaz Review, and the International Journal of Middle East Studies, amongst others. Her first book "Maghreb Noir: The Militant-Artists of North Africa and the Struggle for a Pan-African, Post-colonial Future" (Stanford, 2023) tells the story of a group of militant-artists, some Maghrebi, others Angolan, Haitian, or American, who led Pan-African cultural and political projects out of the recently decolonized cities of Rabat, Algiers, and Tunis.   Connect with Paraska Tolan-Szkilnik
