This essay aims at shedding a new light on the revolutions in Latin-America and Northern Africa, by examining how people and ideas circulated between those two poles, in particular in between Brazil and Algeria from 1954 to 1974. Before the Cuban Revolution, the Algerian War (1954-1962) mobilized the hearts and the minds of politicians and Latin American intellectuals, just as much as during the Spanish Civil War fifteen years earlier. In addition, the revolutionary movement had the support of Algerian intellectuals and scholars from other French colonies and from Latin-American countries. The main focus of this study is the role of the National Liberation Front in Brazil, through its official newspaper, El Moudjahid, as well as in some Brazilian journals: we consider the debates shared in those texts, thus examining the discussion in intellectual circles from the fifties to the sixties and how do they thought the Algeria independency war.
