Public Lecture | What can Algeria teach us about Palestine, then and now
Embark on a thought-provoking journey into historical parallels and contemporary reflections in an engaging public lecture where we will be exploring the resonance of the Algerian War of Independence in the context of current conflicts and its liberation struggle, with a focus on Palestine!
As people try to make sense of the current violence in Palestine, the comparisons to Algeria keep popping up. Whether it is heated debates about references to Frantz Fanon’s writings or fears of the mass exodus of settlers that took place in 1962. What can we make of these analogies?
This talk looks back to the Algerian War of Independence and its aftermath to think through possible futures. It will show how the history of both places has long been entangled, and how connections between the two have at times opened up creative possibilities and at other times shut them down.
