David Wise responds to a recent MIT publication "A Gallery of Recuperation" on Jaime Semprun - via Portugal and Spain in the 1970s and eco-interventions in Yorkshire in the 2010s.
The Algerian Insurrection Quevedo said of the Spaniards: they haven t been able to be historians but they deserved to be . This is still true of the 1936 Spanish Revolution: others have written the history. It s too early to write the history of the insurrection that started in Algeria during spring 2001, but it s not too late to defend it; and to fight the deep indifference as we see it in France.
From Black Flag #222 (2002).
To illustrate the significance of this uprising, we need to look at the actions and declarations of the Algerian insurgents. Their dignity, understanding and courage reveals the abjection in which people of the modern world are living; their apathy, their petty worries and their sordid hopes.
