ALT This photo shows two generations of @Umich graduates. The Mahfoud Bennoune Memorial Thesis award supports the next generations of grads & does so in memory of Mahfoud who was born in a peasant village in colonized Algeria, and went on to participate in the liberation of his home country, to earn his PhD @umich and to become a professor at the University of Algiers.

To remember my dad Mahfoud on the 22nd anniversary of his passing, I'm proud to share a film he made (BBC/PBS, '83):
“Building a Nation”
Starting w the anti-colonial struggle, it documents the birth of independent #Algeria

To continue to share his words & wisdom, we plan to mark what would have been Dr. Bennoune’s 90th birthday year in a number of ways, including posting his unfinished memoirs on mahfoudbennoune.com & holding a virtual memorial conference in October 2026...

Today would've been the 90th birthday of my dear dad, Mahfoud Bennoune, Algerian anthropologist & activist. His work against colonialism & extremism remains sadly relevant
To help remember him & draw strength for today's rights struggles, please visit mahfoudbennoune.com 🧵
