On the Algerian agrarian revolution

Abstract

After giving a short account of the Algerian agriculture - remarking a socialist (or self-governed) sector, a private sector and a cooperative sector -, the authors analyse with a special attention the structures of the private sector, the main target for the agrarian revolution. Then they describe the ends aimed at by this revolution, underlying its two main aspects: the raise in the agricultural production level and the transformation of social relations. In the two last parts of their article they examine the new structures established by the agrarian revolution and its effects upon the Algerian agriculture, in special as far as the private and the cooperative sectors are concerned.
