The Colonizer and the Colonized

A relentless reciprocity binds the colonizer to the colonized -- his product and his fate. Memmi has vividly recorded this. With him, we find that the colonialist system is a form in motion, born towards the middle of the last century, that will manufacture its own destruction of itself. For a long time now, colonialism has cost mother countries more than it has earned."--The introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre.
