Racism Explained to My Daughter

Racism Explained to My Daughter is a unique and compelling dialogue in which award-winning author Tahar Ben Jelloun explains difficult concepts from ghettos and genocide to slavery and anti-Semitism in language we can all understand. When Ben Jelloun took his ten-year-old daughter to a street protest against anti-immigration laws in Paris, she asked question after question: “What is racism? What is an immigrant? What is discrimination?” Out of their frank discussion comes this book, an international best-seller translated into twenty languages.
