Eberhardt became a member of the secretive Qadiriyya Sufi sect as a way for her to free herself from the artificial atmosphere of Europe that she felt so limited by. An order dedicated to helping the poor, the group was strongly opposed to French colonial rules. The Oblivion Seekers is a testimony to her engagement. Please use specific stories (at least 5) from The Oblivion Seekers to illustrate how 1) Eberhardt lent her voice to the people in Algeria, and 2) Eberhardt reached what Basho called ‘satori’ or ‘muga’.
