Algiers Third World Capital: Freedom Fighters Revolutionaries Black Panthers

Mokhtefi (née Klein) a Jewish American from Long Island has had an exhilarating life. In the 1960s she served as a press adviser to the National Liberation Front in postwar Algiers before going to work with Eldridge Cleaver who was wanted in the US for his role in a deadly shoot-out with Oakland police. Half a century later as an eighty-nine-year-old painter living on the Upper West Side Mokhtefi still seasons her prose with the argot of revolution.
