Reviews

“A powerful, highly relevant, and innovative study of the cultural and political role of France's largest ethnic and religious minority.”
—Jarrod Hayes, author of Queer Nations: Marginal Sexualities in the Maghreb

“Effectively demonstrates how racialized stereotyping and ethnocultural marginalization of citizens of North African descent have long betrayed the French idyll of equality and integration. Perceptive and groundbreaking.”
—Adlai Murdoch, author of Creolizing the Metropole
