“The Call from Algeria: Third Worldism, Revolution and the Turn to Islam” was published in 1996. Robert Malley’s book remains one of the best ever written on modern Algeria, but also essential reading to anyone following Middle East and North Africa politics and the extrapolation of the old “North-South” struggle into the “New World Disorder.” As an interpretation of Algeria’s past and present agonies, the book is set against the broader backdrop of the rise and fall of Third Worldism and remains as pertinent today as it was twenty-five years ago.

The suggestion that Malley is outside the Beltway mainstream is false.

Prior to joining the Biden administration, he ran the International Crisis Group, a prestigious conflict-resolution think tank based in Washington, DC. What distinguishes Malley is not his radicalism. Instead, as this previously unpublished June 2008 lecture reveals, it is his willingness to grapple with radicalism in particular the radicalism of anti-imperialist struggles in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and for the most intimate of reasons.
