Algeria: A Historic and Ambivalent Movement

Mon dernier article, intitulé « Algeria: A Historic and Ambivalent Movement », et traduit en anglais par Janet Koening, vient d’être publié par The Brooklyn Rail (May 2019).

En voici les premières lignes :

But Algerian society was not cut off from international capitalism or from its regional environment. Momentous in size and intensity, this protest has also taken aback people, myself included, who hoped the “Algerian Spring” would happen sooner or later, without being able to predict what forms it would take. «
