In line with current debates on African cultural heritage, this article considers the historical dislocation and a recent revival of Augustine of Hippo as a long-time hidden figure of North African memory. It focuses on the evolution of transcultural meaning in the process of memorization from colonial to postcolonial times. The main emphasis will be on the Algerian context, where Augustine was incorporated into colonial myth (Bertrand's Afrique latine), what provoked a rejection until his figure was re-appropriated and shaped into a site of Maghrebian memory.
Keywords: Augustine of Hippo, memory, forgetting, colonial literature, maghrebian literature, Augustin d'Hippone, mémoire, oubli, littérature coloniale, littérature maghrébine

Caught in the tension between a logic of attraction and a logic of immigration control, the internationalization of higher education has begun to raise questions about the place accorded to foreign students. In France, Algerian students face particular difficulties which mark them out as a specific group within the larger category of “foreign students”. Although these constraints contribute to feelings of membership of a minority which has in common the same social experience of immigration/emigration, they also, by contrast, induce a redefining of the geographical and social meaning given to the migration project, and lead these students to revise their expectations and, more broadly, their migratory routes. Unlike their economic migrant predecessors, they mobilize for better respect for their rights in the host country. This article thus tries to show to what extent, for this new generation, the difficulties they experience entail a progressive transformation of the meaning given to student mobility, making this a phenomenon which reveals and at the same time activates new forms of political recognition.

Information professionals, including all of their academic and professional diversity (archivists, document managers, librarians, information monitors, etc.) are responsible for the management of information, regardless of its form and format in order to underscore value in the decision-making process, be it in the administrative, economic or social and cultural domains. Continuing social changes force information professionals to be part of an association that promotes them and their contribution to the information sciences. This is the role of the professional associations. The following article outlines the information sciences professionals in Morocco, namely the Association nationale des informatistes.

Becoming a father in the context of immigration pose numerous challenges. The breastfeeding experience impacts on fathers' experiences, especially in a context where the cultural practices from their country of origin differ from the practices of the new culture of the host country. The goal of this study was to a examine immigrant fathers from Maghreb's beliefs in regards to breastfeeding. Using semi-structured interviews, data were collected from a sample of 12 fathers who had emigrated from Maghreb within the past 10 years. Participants' beliefs regarding the breastfeeding experience were analysed. Findings include recommendations for clinical practices, research and family health educators working with immigrant families.

Various factors such as relocation of poor populations policies, promotion of land rights privatization, and, more generally, economic growth fostered urban sprawl in main Maghreb cities, including Meknès, Morocco. This urbanization increases at the expense of high potential agricultural land, despite preservation laws for agricultural land. In Meknes, family farmers settled in city outskirts provided most of building land. This article presents the diversity of land tenure strategies adopted by these farmers. It shows that they take into account the new actors game, as well as actors' resistance or negotiation skills. For a majority of farmers who owned their plots, selling land allowed to invest in various sectors (transport, trade, etc.); sometimes they have invested in agriculture too, in situ or through purchasing of land away from the city. A minority preferred to keep their land to avoid sale to intermediaries and adopt a speculative strategy. Instead, farmers using collective land without private property rights, have only defense or conflict strategies; they are in a context where their ability to negotiate prices or refuse the transfer is virtually nil. More generally, these speculative processes favor land purchase throughout the plain by investors and neo-farmers in both peri-urban and rural areas. Increase of fertile land price in the periurban zone induces a similar increase for similar land in rural areas; thus it weakens family farming in Morocco as this category of farmers cannot oppose investors and large landowners.
