Algiers, Third World Capital by Elaine Mokhtefi<\/h3>\n<p>Born Elaine Klein to a secular Jewish family in New York\u2019s Long Island, Mokhtefi would go on to capture Algeria\u2019s transition from a French colonial territory to becoming the capital of third world resistance against European imperialism.<\/p>\n<p>Her 2018 memoir\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.versobooks.com\/books\/3027-algiers-third-world-capital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Algiers, Third World Capital<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>captures Algeria\u2019s history immediately after independence.<\/p>\n<p>Mokhtefi spent 12 years there working as a journalist but her first brushes with the independence movement came not in North Africa but in Paris, where she moved in 1951.<\/p>\n<p>On May Day in 1952, the American met Algerian labourers excluded from a French trade union march, leading to her recognising the \u201clie\u201d of the French national motto of \u201cliberty, equality, fraternity\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-block\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"group-inner\">\n<div class=\"group-inner\">\n<div class=\"embedded-entity\" data-embed-button=\"file_browser\" data-entity-embed-display=\"image:image\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"49c08949-9420-45f7-8a81-e5695b159f78\" data-langcode=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/sites\/default\/files\/elaine-mokhtefi-verso-books.jpg\" alt=\"elaine-mokhtefi-eldridge-cleveland-1969\" width=\"449\" height=\"252\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>Elaine Mokhtefi is pictured here with Eldridge Cleaver, one of the early leaders of the US Black Panther Party, in Algiers in 1969\u00a0 (Verso Books)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From then on, Mokhtefi became an advocate of Algeria\u2019s freedom, becoming close with the post-colonial philosopher Frantz Fanon, who would later succumb to injuries sustained fighting the French in North Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Her memoirs detail her move from New York to Paris to Algiers, but her story comes amid the backdrop of Algeria\u2019s own.<\/p>\n<p>She details, for example, the 1969 Pan-Africanist Festival of Algiers, a conference in the Algerian capital bringing together anti-racist and anti-colonial figures, from across Africa, the Middle East and even the US. Notable attendees included Black Panthers Eldridge Cleaver and Stokely Carmichael.<\/p>\n<p>Mokhtefi\u2019s role as a journalist and bilingual skills in English and French allowed her to witness historic scenes from a unique perspective: that of a white American woman, sometimes at the heart of the action, sometimes not, but always a spectator.<\/p>\n<p>In 1991, Elaine married Mokhtar Mokhtefi, a veteran of the war of independence and author of the book\u00a0<em>I was a French Muslim: a Memoir<\/em>, which was translated by Elaine Mokhtefi herself.<\/p>\n<h3>3. At the Cafe and The Talisman, by Mohammed Dib<\/h3>\n<p>Mohammed Dib is one of Algeria\u2019s most famous authors, having published 30 novels, as well as collections of short stories, poetry and children\u2019s literature, before his death in 2003 at the age of 82.<\/p>\n<p>His most acclaimed work is\u00a0<em>The Algerian Trilogy<\/em>,\u00a0 which is comprised of 1952\u2019s\u00a0<em>La Grande Maison<\/em>\u00a0<em>(The Big House<\/em>), 1954\u2019s\u00a0<em>L\u2019incendie<\/em>\u00a0(<em>The Fire<\/em>) and 1957\u2019s\u00a0<em>Le Metier a Tisser\u00a0<\/em>(<em>The Weaving Loom<\/em>).
