Exile and Helplessness

This translation of Exile and Helplessness marks the introduction to the English-speaking world of Nabile Farès' great trilogy, La Découverte du nouveau monde (The Discovery of the New World). An experimental work set in the time just after Algeria's war with France, Exile and Helplessness probes issues of identity - race, gender, nationality - in the wake of European colonialism. -- Back cover.
