Colonized is a well-known nonfiction book of Albert Memmi, published in French in 1957 and in English at first in 1965. The work explores and describes the psychological effects of colonialism on colonized and colonizers alike. Dissecting the minds of both the oppressor and the oppressed, Memmi reveals truths about the colonial situation and struggle that are as relevant today as they were five decades ago.

“Racism… is the highest expression of the colonial system and one of the most significant features of the colonialist.”
