Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
Dr Ghoulem Berrah's autobiographical book A Dream for Peace is a fascinating narrative of the author's transformation into a Freedom Fighter for Algeria's independence while she was still under the control of the French administration. He was born into a low-income family in Constantine, Algeria. However, with his mother's assistance, he started his academic career. As a result of his consistent excellence, he got a scholarship to study medicine in France. And it was here that he began his life as an activist and freedom warrior. He resolved to fight against racial discrimination since he had experienced it. He obtained his medical degree in France and afterwards worked as a professor. His mission was to give Africa a voice. His goal was to bring peace back to Africa.
In the past, African nations have experienced a long, terrible period of unwanted colonisation. Additionally, in modern-day Africa, there is a significant component of religious racism and political upheaval. The publication of this book demonstrates the author's contributions that have had a good impact on Africa in terms of addressing the underlying issues on the continent. These include bringing about Algeria's independence, resolving disputes between warring nations, and leading a life that is an example of religious tolerance.
I truly appreciated how the author discussed his nation's traditions and culture. He never failed to express his love for his nation's cultural customs and the sporadic holidays. The connection between his mother and him was the most fascinating. The loss of his mother devasted him because of how much he loved her. He showed us the affection his fellow citizens and even other Africans gave him while they fought for their rights. I also enjoyed the detailed approach of this writing. Other readers might find it a bit much, but the socially immersed narration made the book more riveting.
There was nothing I disliked about this memoir. I saw no typos, spelling, or grammatically issues while reading. The book is simple, and I followed along because of the clear English used, and I was also able to learn new words. Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I would recommend this book to lovers of political memoirs. If you want to understand African colonialism, this book is suitable. Readers eager to learn about world peace and politics would also enjoy this book. The lesson learnt is that conflicts for power or superiority and territory will always occur if people do not find a way to work together.
