Revolution dissolved the Algerian husband’s traditional jealousy of his wife

Evidence

But the important thing here is that the husband makes no difficulty about letting his wife leave on an assignment. He will make it, in fact, a point of pride to say to the liaison agent when the latter returns, “You see, everything has gone well in your absence.” The Algerian’s age-old jealousy, his “congenital” suspiciousness, have melted on contact with the Revolution. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 252
