Description
The Battle of Algiers Past as Prologue by Sohail Daulatzai is a thought-provoking exploration of the enduring legacy of a 1966 film that captured Algerian resistance to French colonial occupation. This book examines how the film's influence has been felt across various political spectrums, from leftist groups to right-wing juntas and even contemporary military interventions. As the War on Terror continues, The Battle of Algiers takes on new significance as a prophetic testament to the present and a cautionary tale of an imperial future. Daulatzai argues that tracing the film's afterlife reveals a larger story about how dreams of freedom were shared and crushed in the fifty years since its release. This book is part of the Forerunners: Ideas First series, which publishes groundbreaking digital publications that draw on scholarly work from various fields.
