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\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Hussey\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of the Centre for Post-Colonial Studies at the University of London's School of Advanced Study, as well as a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e, and the writer\/presenter of several BBC documentaries on French food and art.
