Remembering Anticolonial Algiers: Panthers & Pan-African Revolutionaries w/Elaine Mokhtefi
Description
Adnan has a wonderful conversation with a remarkable radical activist, Elaine Mokhtefi, in this special collaborative edition w/Guerrilla History and its ongoing series of interviews with living historical revolutionaries. Elaine Mokhtefi is author of "Algiers, Third World Capital: Freedom fighters, Revolutionaries, Black Panthers." This fascinating discussion retraces Elaine's early political engagement with the FLN mission to the UN, her decision to move to Algeria to help build the postcolonial nation after liberation from France, her experiences as a translator and journalist covering the transnational movements for liberation across the Global South, and work with the Black Panthers exiled in Algiers. She danced with Fanon, met radical third world leaders, and struggled for a better world. Now in her 90's, she remains an inspiring and committed activist. A lot to learn in this conversation!
