Ali Boumahdi

Ali Boumahdi (1934-1994) was born on 17 May in Berrouaghia, south of Médéa, in a Titteri whose peasants had been dispossessed of their land. The primary school certificate, which almost no Muslim child from the interior obtained at the time, opened secondary school in Médéa to him, then a degree in literature and an advanced diploma in English. He taught in France, where he would end up as a school principal, and wrote only two books, both drawn from the same town and the same circle. He said he wanted to return home once retired; he died at sixty without having done so.
