Imbued with tenderness for her family and a critical view of the challenges facing French North African immigrants, Kaoutar Harchi's probing account illustrates the deeply personal effects of political issues. Mixed with happy memories of her childhood home in eastern France are ever-present reminders of the dangers from which her parents sought to shield her. When they transfer her to a private, Catholic middle school-out of fear of Arab boys from their working-class neighborhood-Kaoutar grows increasingly conscious of her differences, and her conflicted sense of self. Notable events in her teens-the passing of a law in 2004 banning religious symbols from public schools; the 2005 deaths of Bouna TraoreÌ and Zyed Benna, which sparked riots against police brutality-underscore the injustice of a society that sees Muslims not as equals but as a problem to solve. With elegant, affecting prose, As We Exist charts Kaoutar's political and intellectual awakening, which would become the heart and soul of her work as a sociologist and writer"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English, translated from the French. 600 10 $a Harchi, Kaoutar. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Authors, French $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children of immigrants $z France $v Biography. 650 7 $a Authors, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822016 650 7 $a Children of immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855365 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Harchi, Kaoutar. $t As we exist $d New York : Other Press, 2023 $z 9781635422856 $w (DLC) 2022040762 700 1 $a Ramadan, Emma, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013444.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19391C32253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
