I sometimes forget to post on here these days, but I wrote a piece about a wonderful Algerian historian who I sadly never got to meet in person. His work has so much to teach us about the relationship between social justice and anti-colonial revolution.

"Harbi’s writings also illustrated a model of internationalism that refused to accept the authoritarian nature of specific nationalist projects, even if these projects were based on anti-imperialist principles." - @MuriamDavis https://t.co/KJajQpYpsO

@meznaqato Thanks for sharing! I'm hardly ever on here so it's lovely to sign on and see people found this piece useful :)

@LegendSadequain This is absolutely amazing! I unfortunately just left Pakistan but will track down this book (and plan on doing some archival work on this when in France this summer).

Hey @airfrance, the 19th Century called and they want their Orientalist clichés back. Is Delacroix your marketing director?

[M Haleh @MuriamDavis]

@anthonyfenton What a huge loss. Some of Harbi's writings on Fanon appear here in case this is of interest! https://t.co/FNnVvi2xIY

4/ "Although Marx remains my obsession/ I cannot control the alphabetical description/ Indeed due to my passion and patrimony/ With the calligraphy of the Quranic verses I have a connection."

Yesterday was the anniversary of Camus' death: In 1964, while living in Paris, 🇵🇰 Pakistani artist Sadequain Naqqash was commissioned to produce lithographs for a special edition of Camus' L’ Étranger.

3/ In one of his rubaiyat he wrote: “Har chand ke hai Marx ka hi khabt mujhe/ Abjad ki nigarish pe nahin zabt mujhe/ Ishq aur virasat hi ki majboori men/ Khataati-e-ayat se hai rabt mujhe.”

@decolonialpsych @ROAPEjournal thank you!

I recently wrote a piece on how Algerian communists and Trotskyists critically engaged with Fanon's writings under Ben Bella (1962-1965) for @ROAPEjournal. '‘A bird yearning for freedom’: Algerian critiques of Fanon after 1962' - https://t.co/ElyKyu2izW

@gautambhatia88 @ROAPEjournal I also really like Alison Drew's book on communists in Algeria. Happy reading!

[M Haleh @MuriamDavis]

@Lauan_al @ROAPEjournal you are cited in this piece of course!
