Fanny Colonna

Fanny Colonna (1934 - November 18, 2014) was a French-Algerian sociologist and anthropologist. She was also a former professor at Tizi Ouzou University.

Colonna was born in El Milia, and was the daughter of a French civil servant "who made sure she learned Arabic." Colonna lived in Algeria until 1993. She "established her reputation with a study of the Algerian schoolteacher class during the colonial period." Colonna also conducted an ethnographic study in the Aures between 1970 and 1980.
