Algerian nationhood became an embodied reality inside each new Algerian

Evidence

We want to show in this first study that on the Algerian soil a new society has come to birth. The men and women of Algeria today resemble neither those of 1930 nor those of 1954, nor yet those of 1957. The old Algeria is dead. All the innocent blood that has flowed onto the national soil has produced a new humanity and no one must fail to recognize this fact. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 86 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
