Life and career

In 1983, Amhis-Ouksel began a series of works covering the novels of Mouloud Mammeri, Mohammed Dib, Mouloud Feraoun, Malek Ouary, Taos Amrouche,[3] Abdelhamid ben Hadouga, Tahar Djaout, Assia Djebar, and Kateb Yacine.[4] Most of these books were published by Casbah éditions.[5] For her work covering Algeria's literary heritage, she received the Prix Mahfoud-Boucebci in 2012[6] and the Prix de la fondation Nedjma in 2013.[7] In 2016, a documentary titled Djoher Amhis, une femme d'exception was released, which covered her exceptional contributions to Algerian literature and was directed by M'hamed Amrouche.[8] She wrote her autobiography, Le Chant de la sitelle, in 2012.[9]
