Révolution No.7, EXORCISER DIEN-BIEN-PHU, LE P.C.F ET L'AFRIQUE, L'EUROPE DANS L'IMPASSE

"Révolution" was a Maoist monthly magazine founded by lawyer Jacques Vergès, distributed from 1963 to 1965. The magazine was launched in September 1963 after Vergès returned to France, having been replaced by Mohammed Harbi as the head of the Algerian magazine Révolution Africaine. Upon hearing of the new publication, the newspaper L'Humanité called Vergès a "renegade."

The editor-in-chief of the French edition was Nguyen Kien, a pseudonym of Ngô Manh Lan, making Révolution the first Maoist newspaper distributed in France. An English edition, African Revolution, was released in April 1963 but was later renamed Africa-Latin America-Asia in July 1963. A Spanish edition may have also existed. Initially, the magazine was published in Switzerland until it was banned there.

Contributors included Siné and Régis Debray, with partial funding coming from the Chinese government. The magazine supported both the People's Republic of China and the Cuban regime, featuring an article by Ernesto Guevara in its second issue. In March 1964, the seventh issue was banned for publishing an article advocating for the independence of the French Overseas Territories. Publication ceased in 1965 when Jacques Vergès returned to Algeria following the dismissal of President Ben Bella, marking the end of the magazine's run.
