"The Wretched of France: The 1983 March for Equality and Against Racism" by Abdellali Hajjat, translated by Andrew Brown, is a timely and significant contribution to the study of political anti-racism, social movements, and police violence against postcolonial minorities. The book focuses on the 1983 March for Equality and Against Racism, led by young people of mainly North African origin in Lyon, France. It explores the socio-economic exclusion and racial discrimination that led to the march, as well as its impact and legacy. The author also draws parallels between this movement and other anti-racist struggles globally. The book provides valuable insights for scholars interested in racism, anti-racist collective action, police violence, and social movements. [Extracted from the article]
