چشم‌ها به سمت جنوب: آنارشیست‌های فرانسوی و الجزایر

Eyes to the South explores important issues from the last six tumultuous decades of Algerian history, including French colonial rule, nationalist revolution, experiments in workers' self-management, the rise of radical Islamist politics, an insurgent revival of traditional decentralist resistance and political structures, conflicts over cultural identity, women's emancipation, and major "blowback" on the ex-colonial power itself. David Porter's nuanced examination of these issues helps to clarify Algeria's current political, economic, and social conditions, and resonates with continuing conflicts and change in Africa and the Middle East more generally. At the same time, Eyes to the South describes and analyzes the observers themselves-the various components of the French anarchist movement-and helps to clarify and enrich the discussion of issues such as national liberation, violence, revolution, the role of religion, liberal democracy, worker self-management, and collaboration with statists in the broader anarchist and anti-authoritarian movements Table of Contents Map of Algeria Acknowledgments Key Initials Basic Timeline for Algeira, 1954-Present Foreword INTRODUCTION Personal Introduction Historical Background of Modern Algeria: the Colonial Context and the Anti-Colonial Movement Anarchist Background Book Organization and Methodology PART I The Algerian War (1954-1962): Nationalism, Violence, and Revolution Algerian Background: Realities of the National Liberation Struggle French Anarchism Background: Engaement, Polarization, and Splits French Anarchist Positions PART II The Ben Bella Regime (1962-1965): Ideal and Reality of Workers' Self-Management Algerian Background: Power Struggles and "Algerian Socialism" French Anarchism Background: Support, Younger Visions, and Faded Vitality French Anarchist Positions PART III The Boumedienne Regime (1965-1978): State Socialism and Political Islam Algerian Background: Balancing Left and Right in Consolidating the Regime French Anarchism Background: New Reflections on Algerian Autogestion and the Peak and Aftermath of May-June 1968 French Anarchist Positions PART IV The Chadli, Boudiaf, and Zeroual Regimes (1979-1999): Berber and Urban Revolts, Liberalization and Military/Islamist Civil War Algerian Background: Grassroots Insurgents, Political Reform, and the "Black Decade" of Violence French Anarchism Background: The Pluralistic Movement Sorts Out French Anarchist Positions PART V The Bouteflika Regime (1999-Present): Horizontalist Resistance and Authoritatian Rule Algerian Background: Kabyle Insurgency, Assemblies Movement, and the "Democratic" Facade French Anarchism Background: Distinct Voices and Identities French Anarchist Positions CONCLUSION Anarchism in Algeria French Anarchists' "Alternative History" of Algeria Reflections on the French Anarchist Movement Reflections on the Anarchist Movement Generally Notes Selected Bibliography Index A comparative study of the porous intellectual and political borders between a colonial power and the colonized.
