Rigourous analysis and research on the politics of muslims in France: As a researcher doing work in the same area, I can say that there is no other book that tackles this subject, which manages to take seriously ethnicity AND political engagement. A necessary book if you want to know what's really going on with Algerian immigrants and their children in France. Theoretically, Silverstein manages to take a critical perspective without delving too deep into postmodernism, and his empirical research supports his conclusions. A wonderful and convincing anecdote to Huntington and Lewis-like Clash of Civilizations arguments, Algeria in France draws on historical, anthropological, sociological, and literary references to make its case.
..Are we done yet?: this haneous text actually got published wow. So, you might be fathoming, "well then, I suppose it can't be that bad right?." Wrong. Please take my advice, if you are under 40 and have an averge IQ such as I, I warn you dear reader, do not wastetime on your life reading (moreiek trying to read/comprehend) this book. Go out and Live, this is a inflamed text of bore that will likely make you want to staple your head to a carpet. Guarenteed to induce pendemonium, bedlam and a strong urge to use it as firewood even in the summertime
