This research paper aims to introduce Algerian autobiographical narratives within their referential context, while attempting to highlight the workings of the writing system in Abdellah Rekibi's memoirs. The goal is to assess the extent of its credibility in portraying the features of the Algerian self and the degree to which its revolutionary tendencies are reflected in its struggle with the other, in order to assert its identity. The paper also seeks to examine how this vision of the world is embodied during the glorious November Revolution, which represents a turning point in the actual collective self-awareness and its pursuit of a viable consciousness that paves the way for its rebirth. The Problem: The glorious War of Liberation was one of the periods that suffered from an unprecedented media blackout aimed at concealing the crimes of the French colonizer. Despite this, many Algerian writers emerged who attempted to present firsthand accounts and testimonies from those who lived through that era, in order to revive the revolutionary discourse. One such example is Abdullah Rkeibi in his book "Memories of the Algerian Revolution 1954-1958." This leads us to ask the following questions:- How was the Algerian revolutionary spirit reflected in the memoir? And how did this contribute to consolidating national values and fostering a culture of belonging? The Significance: "Memories of the Algerian Revolution" is an important historical record, rich with revolutionary values and firsthand accounts. It preserves a vast revolutionary legacy that future generations can be proud of, and which they should emulate, upholding the legacy of the martyrs. • Objectives: This research paper aims to introduce Algerian autobiographical narratives within their referential context, while highlighting the mechanisms of the writing system in Abdullah Rkibi's memoirs. The goal is to assess the extent of its credibility in portraying the features of the Algerian self and the degree to which its revolutionary tendencies are reflected in its struggle with the other, in order to assert its identity. Methodology: This research paper will employ a structural-genetic approach to examine how the collective Algerian self's vision of the world is embodied during the glorious November Revolution. This revolution represents a turning point in the actual consciousness of the collective self and its pursuit of a viable awareness that paves the way for its rebirth. Recommendations: This research paper seeks to open a new avenue of research into Algerian autobiographical narratives within their referential context. These narratives document the November Revolution and Algeria's history of struggle, and they reinforce a culture of belonging and national values in future generations.
