Summary
  1. Demonstrates how a form of Republican and secularist fundamentalism has become a mask to hide a new form of virulent islamophobia in France. Plenel takes the side of his compatriots of Muslim origin, culture or belief, against those who make them into scapegoats. At stake for Plenel is not just solidarity but fidelity to the memory and heritage of emancipatory struggles and he writes in defense of the Muslims, just as Zola wrote in defense of the Jews and Sartre wrote in defense of the Blacks. --From publisher description.
