For more than 70 years until his passing, Albert Memmi was one of the most influential French authors in the development of political discourse and the revival of nationalism in many countries. His novels and essays, including The Colonizer and the Colonized (prefaced by Jean-Paul Sartre), are studied in colleges and universities. The most diverse intellectual circles have confronted, incorporated or rejected his ideas but always in enriching and respectful ways. Originally published in French in 1975, this fascinating conversation on social and political evolution is finally available in English. It includes A Personal Biographical Note; Itinerary: From life lived to the theory of domination and an Extensive Selected Bibliography.
