As much as unemployment, economic stagnation, and social deprivation exacerbate the ongoing turmoil in the \u003ci\u003ebanlieues\u003c\/i\u003e, the root of the problem lies elsewhere: in the continuing fallout from Europe's colonial era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining a fascinating and compulsively readable mix of history, literature, and politics with his years of personal experience visiting the \u003ci\u003ebanlieues\u003c\/i\u003e and countries across the Arab world, especially Algeria, Hussey attempts to make sense of the present situation. In the course of teasing out the myriad interconnections between past and present in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Beirut, and Western Europe, \u003ci\u003eThe French Intifada \u003c\/i\u003eshows that the defining conflict of the twenty-first century will not be between Islam and the West but between two dramatically different experiences of the world--the colonizers and the colonized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865478268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Andrew Hussey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645409521820,"sku":"9780865478268","price":28.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_985bfc31-9572-4947-b3eb-b76a990a843e.jpg?v=1603861050","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/french-intifada-9780865478268","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
