PORTRAIT OF THE COLONIZED PRECEDED BY THE PORTRAIT OF THE COLONIZER

PORTRAIT OF THE COLONIZED, PRECEDED BY PORTRAIT OF THE COLONIZER, which was banned by governments and police, is considered one of the most powerful and psychologically penetrating studies ever written on colonial oppression. Memmi dissects the minds of both oppressor and oppressed and reveals truths about the colonial situation and its consequences that are as surprisingly relevant in our conflict-torn world as they were in the 1950s. More than fifty years later, Albert Memmi's text remains strikingly relevant.
