3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting., November 12, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
If you are interested in a clear, easy to read, ethnographic study, then this is a good example. This book exposes the rampant racial and sexual discrimination that is so rampant in France in a refreshingly honest way. Raissiquier does not deny that her position as a women of priveledge (white, French educated) informs her hypotheses, methods, and conclusion. Instead, she stresses the role that her background affects the lens through which she views the context. The story, which supposedly follows two Algerian women, never actually fulfils that purpose and spreads itself too thin at times. Overall, this strong effort is an enjoyable, although certainly not indispensable, read.
