For this week, you will watch The Battle of Algiers. The Battle of Algiers contributed to the symbolic importance of the FLN and the Algerian War of Independence to Third World revolutionary and de-colonization struggles around the globe.
While you are reading and watching, think about the following discussion question. It will then become the starting question for your discussion forum assignment this week on MyLS (if you are participating this lesson).
Discussion Question:
Using evidence from the film and the Ruedy reading, do you think violence was justified in this conflict? Why do you think violence is a part of many revolutions?
