Global Diplomacy and the Fight for Self-Determination --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsIn The Battle for Algeria Jennifer Johnson reinterprets one of the most violent wars of decolonization: the Algerian War (1954-1962). Johnson argues that the conflict was about who-France or the National Liberation Front (FLN)-would exercise sovereignty of Algeria. The fight between the two sides was not simply a military affair; it also involved diverse and competing claims about who was positioned to better care for the Algerian people's health and welfare. Johnson focuses on French and Algerian efforts to engage one another off the physical battlefield and highlights the social dimensions of the FLN's winning strategy, which targeted the local and international arenas. Relying on Algerian sources, which make clear the centrality of health and humanitarianism to the nationalists' war effort, Johnson shows how the FLN leadership constructed national health care institutions that provided critical care for the population and functioned as a protostate. Moreover, Johnson demonstrates how the FLN's representatives used postwar rhetoric about rights and national self-determination to legitimize their claims, which led to international recognition of Algerian sovereignty. By examining the local context of the war as well as its international dimensions, Johnson deprovincializes North Africa and proposes a new way to analyze how newly independent countries and nationalist movements engage with the international order. The Algerian case exposed the hypocrisy of selectively applying universal discourse and provided a blueprint for claim-making that nonstate actors and anticolonial leaders throughout the Third World emulated. Consequently, The Battle for Algeria explains the FLN's broad appeal and offers new directions for studying nationalism, decolonization, human rights, public health movements, and concepts of sovereignty.Pennsylvania studies in human rights.DecolonizationAlgeriaHumanitarianismPolitical aspectsAlgeriaMedical careAlgeriaHistory20th centuryAlgeriaPolitics and government1830-1962AlgeriaHistoryRevolution, 1954-1962African Studies.Asian Studies.Caregiving.European History.Health.History.Human Rights.Law.Medicine.Middle Eastern Studies.World History.DecolonizationHumanitarianismPolitical aspectsMedical careHistory965/.0461Johnson Jennifer1981-1122464MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797714003321The battle for Algeria3791133UNINA03003nam 2200745 450 991082793980332120200103160551.01-5261-4921-41-5261-3902-21-5261-0860-7(CKB)4100000006371402(MiAaPQ)EBC5497857(StDuBDS)EDZ0002046383(OCoLC)1224979066(MdBmJHUP)muse93028(UkMaJRU)992980004224101631(DE-B1597)660474(DE-B1597)9781526108609(EXLCZ)99410000000637140220200103h20182018 ||| |engur||#---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierWorking-class writing and publishing in the late twentieth century literature, culture and community /Tom WoodinManchester, UK :Manchester University Press,2018.©20181 online resource (270 pages) illustrations; digital file(s)Manchester scholarship onlinePreviously issued in print: 2018.1-5261-0861-5 0-7190-9111-X Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-257) and index.Source of radicalism -- The good old days? -- A beginner reader is not a beginner thinker -- The workshop and working-class writing -- Making writers: more writing than welding -- Alternative publishing and audience participation -- Chuck out the teacher: critical pedagogy in the community -- Class and identity -- The mainstream and the movement.From the early 1970s, working class writing and publishing in local communities rapidly proliferated into a national movement.
