Camus and Algeria (October 2024)

I have a short piece at Three Way Fight, looking at Albert Camus’ much-maligned and little-understood views on the Algerian independence struggle.  Toward the end, I consider Camus’ attempts to limit the violence of the conflict, and the hostile reception he received, to current Left attitudes about the Palestinian struggle.  Matthew Lyons provides a sober reply, which I think supplies some important context that should have been in the initial essay.  Others have been less charitable.

Correspondencia de Camus: un amor invencible más allá de la muerte

update 10/20: The editors have decided to withdraw the piece.  Not wishing to become embroiled in endless polemics, I will simply say that I disagree with their reasoning.
