Cultural meeting
If the name of Abd el-Kader (1808-1883) seems familiar to many, who really knows this eminent emir? In Marseille, the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (Mucem) looks back on the many lives of this Algerian warlord, resistant to French colonization, who was also a learned thinker. Abd el-Kader, a man in love with modernity, could also appear as a figure of appeasement in relations between France and Algeria.
