Evidence
General de Gaulle, addressing himself to Algeria’s extremists recently, declared that “Papa’s Algeria is dead.” That is quite true. But it is not the whole truth. Big Brother’s Algeria is dead too. There is a new Algeria, an Algerian nation, an Algerian government. These obvious facts will sooner or later have to be recognized. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 117
