Born in 1920 on the edge of Tunis's Jewish quarter, the
French-Jewish-Tunisian sociologist, philosopher, and novelist
Albert Memmi has been a central figure in colonial and postcolonial
studies. Often associated with the anticolonial struggles of the
1950s and 1960s, Memmi's career has spanned fifty years, more than
twenty book-length publications, and hundreds of articles that are
distilled in this collection. The Albert Memmi Reader presents
Memmi's insights on the legacies of the colonial era, critical
theories of race, and his distinctive story. Memmi's novels and
essays feature not only decolonial struggles but also commentary on
race, the psychology of dependence, and what it means to be Jewish.
This reader includes selections from his classic works, such as The
Pillar of Salt and The Colonizer and the Colonized, as well as
previously untranslated pieces that punctuate Memmi's literary life
and career, and illuminate the full arc of the life of one of the
great thinkers of the twentieth century. Selections from his later
works speak directly to contemporary issues in European, African,
and Middle Eastern studies, such as racism, immigration and
European identity, and the struggles of postcolonial states,
including Israel/Palestine.
