Underappreciated Literature: Mouloud Feraoun
Mouloud Feraoun grew up in the rural Kabyle region of French-controlled Algeria. His classic first novel, The Poor Man’s Son, captured the realities of colonial occupation, and its effect on Algerians. Though Mouloud Feraoun became one of Algeria’s most important writers and intellectuals, his work wasn't translated into English until 2000. Professor James D. Le Sueur, a specialist in French and North African history, discusses Mouloud Feraoun as part of our Underappreciated Literature series.
