Description
This study of colonial oppression was written before the Franco-Algerian war and predicted the outcome and aftermath of that war. It reveals the springs and mechanisms common to all forms of oppression of one group by another and speaks to all who have experience of the Third World whether they live in the Third World or the First, for in revealing the mechanisms at the base of oppression, Memmi has also revealed the springs of all oppression of one group by another. A new introduction is added which will consider the light thrown on recent British/Irish experience by Memmi and the ways in which that experience gives a new dimension to the importance of Memmi's book.The author's other books include "The Pillar of Salt", "Strangers" and "Portrait of a Jew".
