The Awardwinning Novelist And Author Of The International Bestseller Racism Explained To My Daughter Uses His Own Experience To Illuminate The Experience Of The Other In His Adopted Landand Everywhere. A Moroccan Who Emigrated To France In 1971, Tahar Ben Jelloun Draws Upon His Own Encounters With Racism Along With His Insights As A Practicing Psychologist And Gifted Novelist To Elucidate The Racial Divisions That Plague Contemporary Society. In A Modern France Where Openly Racist Leaders Such As National Front Spokesman Jeanmarie Le Pen Have Made Significant Strides Toward Broad Popular Acceptance, Ben Jelloun'S Book Is More Topical Now Than Ever. His Profound And Compelling Appeal For Tolerancein Both Public Discourse And The Lawis A Passionate Yet Reasoned Argument That Racism Simply Does Not Make Sense In The Multicultural World Of Today.French Hospitality Confronts Issues Of International Resonance: The Relationship Of A Formerly Colonized People To Their Onetime Colonizers, The Encounter Between Islam And The Modern Judeochristian West, And The Status Of The Noneuropean Minorities In Europe Today. Underlying These Issues Is A Heartfelt Nostalgia For Simple, Traditional North African Hospitality As Practiced Since Time Immemorial By A Relatively Poor And Unsophisticated Society. Ben Jelloun Supplements This Rather Noble Ideal Of Generosity And Welcoming By Borrowing The Philosophical Concept Of Hospitalitythe Opening Of Oneself To Anotherfrom The Works Of Emmanuel Lvinas And Jacques Derrida In Order To Illustrate The Moral Conception Of A Nation'S Unconditional Acceptance Of Foreigners. Isn'T The Belief In Welcoming Strangers A Fundamental Mark Of Civilization? In A Political Climate Where Increasingly Repressive Immigration Laws Are A National Trend As Well As An International Phenomenon, He Contends, It Is Not Surprising That Racism Has Gained A Foothold. Most Hurt By Racist Polemic And Politics, He Points Out, Are Children Of Immigrantsborn In France, Their Memories Are Those Of The French People, And They Deserve To Be Treated With The Full Respect Afforded To Any Citizen.With His Elegant And Imaginative Prose, Ben Jelloun Shows Us Both Racism'S Face And The Immigrant'S Heartbreak; But He Also Evokes The Wind Of Freedom And The Ideal Of Hospitality, And With This Gesture Offers A Kind Of Hope In Extricating Ourselves From Racism'S Recidivist Incoherencies.
