The Colonizer and the Colonized

Albert Memmi

A classic critique of colonialism, this book explores the complex and inescapable relationship between the colonizer and the colonized. Born in Tunisia, author Albert Memmi draws on his personal experience as a Jew culturally identified with the colonizer to provide insightful analysis of the interdependence and mutual victimhood inherent in colonialism. Widely regarded as a must-read for its lucidity, sophistication and devastating revelations, this book's relevance continues to echo in modern times.
