Description: The dehumanization of the Arabs who emigrated to "Mother France" is the subject of Chraïbiʹs second novel, echoing Simple Past. This time, however, the focus is more on the values and customs of the West, whose promises to the Islamic world appear as a facade for violence and exploitation.
Notes: Translation of: Les boucs.
