Jeffrey Byrne on "Mecca of Revolution: Algeria, Decolonization & The Third World Order"

We're pleased to note that one of our forthcoming interviews for the Global History Forum will be with University of British Columbia   scholar Jeffrey James Byrne, whose book Mecca of Revolution: Algeria, Decolonization & The Third World Order appeared recently with one of our favorite Series for international and global history, namely that of Oxford University Press.

We're still in the process of preparing the piece discussing the book with Professor Byrne, but in the meantime, interested readers may be interested to read this piece on the book published by the French newspaper Liberation.

Don't read French? No worries – while the main piece is in French, the (original) English interview with Byrne appears at the bottom of the page.

The interview was conducted (and translated into French) by Vincent Hiribarren, a scholar of modern African history at King's College London.
