Algerian society refused radio because it was modeled on Western family norms

Evidence

By and large, it refuses this technique which threatens its stability and the traditional types of sociability; the reason invoked being that the programs in Algeria, undifferentiated because they are copied from the Western model, are not adapted to the strict, almost feudal type of patrilineal hierarchy, with its many moral taboos, that characterizes the Algerian family. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 259
