SOCIALISM IN ISLAM: A STUDY OF ALGERIA, WITH A TRANSLATION OF EXCERPTS FROM THE ALGERIAN NATIONAL CHARTER (1976)
Monmouth, OR: The Institute for Theoretical History, 1981. Hardcover. An important chapter of Algerian history closed with the death of President Houari Boumediene, who was leader of the Revolutionary Council formed in 1965, and elected president in 1976 after the imprisonment of Ahmed Ben Bella. "The principal focus of this essay is on Algeria as it developed under Boumediene's leadership and as it existed at the end of the seventies. It seemed at that time to be on a steady course with stable and functioning institutions. If we can grasp the essence of the Boumediene years, we will have a good foundation for understanding the Algeria of today and tomorrow." 169 pp. A very faint, less than dime-sized scuff mark to rear board. Silver lettering debossed to spine and front board, navy blue cloth-covered boards. Clean, very tight, bright. Near Fine. Item #66862
