A past can hide other pasts. It is known - and this elucidates in part my career as an historian - that I was born into a Jewish family from Algeria. Without a doubt, the pain of exile, my attachment to my childhood and the trauma of the war which I lived through from 1955 to 1962 have encouraged my research into the depths of Algerian history, which I began in the 1970s. But another element sheds new light on my career: my political commitment. Few people know the extent to which political militancy was a part of my earlier life, and this text will come as a surprise.
Benjamin Stora is indeed much better known for his numerous works on Algeria and North Africa than for his itinerary as a trotskyite within the OCI. In this very personal book, both endearing and rigorous, he plays two roles at the same time: that of the historian and that of the witness. He breaks a long period of silence and reconstructs - without illusions or repudiation - the collective adventure of militants fascinated by the past (and October 1917 in particular) who were looking for a possible future between reform and revolution.
