About this book

Written in 1957, when North African independence movements were gaining momentum, Memmi depicts colonialism as a disease of the European but crucially he demonstrates that colonialism destroys both the colonizer and the colonized. Memmiâ__s penetrating insights into the colonial inheritance, and attempts to resist colonisation, remain as relevant today.
