The Colonizer and the Colonized by Albert Memmi

4.0

Was this hard to follow? Sometimes. But did it make sense? Yes. I had to read this for my comparative literature class, along with the short story [b:The Guest|205984|The Guest|Albert Camus|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1450665419l/205984._SX50_.jpg|199350]. Memmi crafts a comprehensive look at the relationship between colonizer and colonized, and each of their options once in a colonial society. All of his points are good points, but even if they weren't, who would I be to contradict him? Seriously, I think he does a thorough job of describing colonial society and delving into the psychology of each side.
