French Hospitality:Racism and North African Immigrants by Tahar Ben Jelloun Book. THE AWARD-WINNING NOVELIST and author of the international bestseller Racism Explained to My Daughter uses his own experience to illuminate the experience of the Other in his adopted land-and everywhere. A Moroccan who emi-grated to France in 1971, Tahar Ben Jelloun draws upon his own encounters with racism along with his insights as a practicing psychologist and gifted novelist to elucidate the racial divisions that plague contemporary society. In a modern France where openly racist leaders such as National Front spokesman Jean-Marie Le Pen have made significant strides toward broad popular acceptance, Ben Jelloun's book is more topical now than ever. His profound and compelling appeal for toler-ance-in both public discourse and the law is a passionate yet reasoned argu-ment that racism simply does not make sense in the multicultural world of today.
