David Porter's nuanced examination of these issues helps to clarify Algeria's current political, economic, and social conditions, and resonates with continuing conflicts and change in Africa and the Middle East more generally. At the same time, \u003ci\u003eEyes to the South\u003c\/i\u003e describes and analyzes the observers themselves--the various components of the French anarchist movement--and helps to clarify and enrich the discussion of issues such as national liberation, violence, revolution, the role of religion, liberal democracy, worker self-management, and collaboration with statists in the broader anarchist and anti-authoritarian movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Porter, a professor emeritus at SUNY\/Empire State College, taught politics and history, including courses on modern Algeria.
