History and the Culture of Nationalism in Algeria is a book by James McDougall published originally by Cambridge University Press in 2006. It is part of the Cambridge Middle East Studies Series (Number 24). The book is an analysis of how the Algerian nationalist narrative was created and developed in popular memory. The author pays particular attention to the role the Association of Muslim Scholars and Ahmad Tawfiq al-Madani played in the development of the nationalist narrative.^[1][2]

The work contains normal front material, a preface, an essay titled The Language of History, and a prologue centered on Tunis in 1899. This is followed by five main essays:

1. The margins of a world in fragments
2. The conquest conquered?
3. The doctors of new religion
4. Saint cults and ancestors
5. Arabs and Berbers?

It concludes with an epliogue centered on Algiers in 2001, an essay entitled The invention of authenticity, and a bibliography.^[3]
