Arslan Humbaraci, a seasoned journalist and political commentator with firsthand experience in the region, presents a rigorous and unflinching account of how the promise of revolution gave way to authoritarian consolidation and social stagnation. The book argues that despite the heroism of the liberation struggle against French colonial rule, the ruling elite systematically undermined the democratic and socialist ideals that had inspired the uprising. Written with the authority of an insider observer, it details the factional power struggles, ideological contradictions, and failed institutions that shaped post-independence Algeria. Part of the World Affairs Special series, this volume remains an essential and sobering text for understanding North African politics and the wider dynamics of decolonisation in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888027054299,"sku":"2026200007022-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fa12fab6-520e-4731-bc42-8a47b9cbdee2.png?v=1781753158","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007022-secondhand-algeria-a-revolution-that-failed-a-political-history-since-1954","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
