Description
Algiers, Third World Capital: A Story of Liberation and Radical Politics In 1962, Algiers became a beacon of liberation for the Third World. For Elaine Mokhtefi, a young American woman, this city offered a home amidst the struggle for independence and radical politics. As a journalist and translator, she lived among guerrillas, revolutionaries, exiles, and visionaries, witnessing pivotal moments in history. Mokhtefi's experiences took her to the forefront of international intrigue, including the filming of The Battle of Algiers. She crossed paths with influential figures of the era, such as Frantz Fanon, Stokely Carmichael, Timothy Leary, Ahmed Ben Bella, Jomo Kenyatta, and Eldridge Cleaver. Her work was instrumental in establishing the International Section of the Black Panther Party in Algiers. This book is an unforgettable account of a pivotal era marked by passion and promise.
