Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
A Dream For Peace is an autobiographical narration of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah on the life mission, goals, ambitions, and achievements he made during his service life. He was born in Ain Beida, Algeria, during the first shots of the Algerian revolution. After his education in the traditional Quranic institutions, he moved to the United States of America for his Master's degree and a Ph.D. He changed from a medical student to an activist, fighting for freedom of independence for his mother country, Algeria. In Bordeaux, he pioneered the formation of the Association of North African Muslim Students, a banner that united students from French colonies to fight against the racial discrimination they faced. The activists and student leaders were tortured and imprisoned. In collaboration with liberation movements in Africa: the Moroccan Liberation Army and the Comite Revolutionnaire d'Unite et d'Action, the activists pushed for independence of African countries: Morocco and Algeria. After independence, he offered diplomatic services with the president of Cote d'Ivoire, Houphouet Boigny. He has held several conversations and dialogues fostering peace in the world.
It is quite an influential and insightful book to read. The author has pointed out how life has changed in Africa, where early marriages were common before colonization, but today education of the girl child is valued. Again, it is recommendable how some countries like China have lived to uphold the dignity and value of women. For instance, in the seventeenth century, the president of the All-China Women's Federation fought against reducing a woman's role stating that by not empowering women, a country would deprive of its potential. Again, the author has contributed to heritage preservation since he has rewritten history on the colonization of African countries during the French colonial era. Once again, the selfless sacrifice of the colonial activists is recommendable in how they forego their interests to foster liberation and better lives for their country nationals, free from discrimination in foreign countries.
The author has given some details that create an upsetting attitude. The thesis on the selective and reversible exhibition of the synthesis of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid by phenethyl alcohol poses a stabling block to the reader without background knowledge in science-related fields.
I rate this book four out of four stars. The book editing is exceptionally done. Additionally, the author does not burden the reader with stories used in the buildup. Finally, the above-mentioned negative attitude is not worth deducting a rating star.
I recommend this book to youths passionate about history-based narration. The author has written his life story giving details of how they had solidarity and unity as students in a foreign country to push and fight for the freedom enjoyed to date.
