The Colonizer and the Colonized by Albert Memmi
5.0
I read 3 books on the topic of colonization recently: this, Fanon's Wretched of the Earth, and Césaire's Discourse on Colonialism. All 3 books are good but if I could read only one, it would be this book.
Memmi diagnoses the condition of the colonized and the colonizer with strange precision. The book is both sobering and liberating-- a sort of metaphor for the tension inherent in colonization. And, it will always be relevant, unfortunately.
