Meticulously researched \u2013 and the only English-language book on the Parti Communiste Alg\u00e9rien \u2013 it explores communism\u2019s complex relationship with Algerian nationalism. During international crises, such as the Popular Front and Second World War years, the PCA remained close to its French counterpart, but as the national liberation struggle intensified, the PCA\u2019s concern with political and social justice attracted growing numbers of Muslims. When the Front de Lib\u00e9ration Nationale launched armed struggle in November 1954, the PCA maintained its organisational autonomy \u2013 despite FLN pressure. They participated fully in the national liberation war, facing the French state\u2019s wrath. Independence saw two conflicting socialist visions, with the PCA\u2019s incorporated political pluralism and class struggle on the one hand, and the FLN demand for a one-party socialist state on the other. The PCA\u2019s pluralist vision was shattered when it was banned by the one-party state in November 1962. This book is of particular interest to students and scholars of Algerian history, French colonial history and communist history.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and details on how to purchase this book, please\u00a0visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/indexer?product=9780719090240\">Manchester University Press website.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This new\u00a0book by Professor Allison Drew (University of York) recovers the lost history of colonial Algeria\u2019s communist movement.
