It goes far deeper. It considers Algeria as a single but striking example of what happens to a primitive culture when it is brought into contact with a modern industrialised economy. This book is important not only as a brief but cogent treatment of the real problems of Algeria.

Germaine Tillion is qualified to write it by a long study of the problem and by an intimate knowledge ofAlgeria and her peoples.” 1958. T6.
