Manifesto of the Algerian Muslim People

Document that urged Algerian autonomy within the French Union.

Ferhat Abbas, in collaboration with other Algerian leaders, drafted the Manifesto of the Algerian Muslim People during February and March 1943. It contains an analysis of the Algerian condition followed by a program of reform that marks a major stage in the progression of Algerian protest from assimilationism to separatism.
