In this time of global instability and widespread violence, Albert
Memmi-author of the highly influential and groundbreaking work The
Colonizer and the Colonized-turns his attention to the present-day
situation of formerly colonized peoples. In Decolonization and the
Decolonized, Memmi expands his intellectual engagement with the
subject and examines the manifold causes of the failure of
decolonization efforts throughout the world.As outspoken and
controversial as ever, Memmi initiates a much-needed discussion of
the ex-colonized and refuses to idealize those who are too often
painted as hapless victims. He shows how, in light of a radically
changed world, it would be problematic-and even irresponsible-to
continue to deploy concepts that were useful and valid during the
period of anticolonial struggle.Decolonization and the Decolonized
contributes to the most current debates on Islamophobia in France,
the "new" anti-Semitism, and the unrelenting poverty gripping the
African continent. Memmi, who is Jewish, was born and raised in
Tunis, and focuses primarily on what he calls the Arab-Muslim
condition, while also incorporating comparisons with South America,
Asia, Black Africa, and the United States. In Decolonization and
the Decolonized, Memmi has written that rare book-a manifesto
informed by intellect and animated by passion-that will propel
public analysis of the most urgent global issues to a new
level.Albert Memmi is professor emeritus of sociology at the
University of Paris, Nanterre, and the author of Racism (Minnesota,
1997).Robert Bononno, a teacher and translator, lives in New York
City.
