«Papa, was ist ein Fremder? Wieso haben manche Menschen schwarze Haut und andere Menschen weiße Haut? Sind Ausländer anders als wir? Ist Rassismus normal? Könnte auch ich zu einer Rassistin werden? Was können wir denn tun, damit die Menschen einander nicht hassen, sondern gern haben?» Diese und andere schwierige Fragen stellt die zehnjährige Mérièm ihrem Vater, dem berühmten französisch-maghrebinischen Schriftsteller Tahar Ben Jelloun. Und der Vater erklärt der Tochter in einem einfachen und anschaulichen Gespräch, wie Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rassismus entstehen und welche Folgen sie haben: wie Vorurteile in Diskriminierungen münden können; wann Rassismus und Kolonialismus zu Sklaverei und Völkermord geführt haben; aber auch, dass niemand als Rassist geboren, sondern erst durch die Verhältnisse dazu gemacht wird.(amazon)

Penso di questo libricino esattamente le stesse cose che ho pensato leggendo "Dovremmo essere tutti femministi": lodevole l'intento, assolutamente e doverosamente condivisibili i contenuti, ma è tutto qui.
Certo rispetto al saggio della Adichie ha il merito di rivolgersi prettamente ad un pubblico in età scolare, quindi il lessico elementare ed i concetti scontati sono in qualche modo giustificati, ma resto convinta che sia troppo generico e superficiale: tante belle frasi, ma nessuna riflessione veramente approfondita od originale. Con un tema del genere si poteva fare molto ma molto di più di una lezioncina da sussidiario; senza addentrarsi in tecnicismi o studi sociologici perché si parla pur sempre di un testo per l'infanzia, ma i ragazzi sono più svegli di quanto l'autore gli dia credito.
Ennesimo esempio di libro in cui si premiano più le intenzioni che la realizzazione, a mio parere poco più che passabile. ( )

I bought this book ages ago but didn't get around to reading it. Now, with all the racist bullshit swirling around the election I figured it was high time. The title essay is pretty much what it sounds like: an essay in Q&A form, written in conjunction with his daughter, then fine-tuned after leading a series of discussions with school children on race. Jelloun's writings are from the lens of an immigrant from Morocco in Paris. His essay does an excellent job addressing the aspect of racism that is the prejudice of the individual, and how it robs us all of the fullness of our humanity to lazily believe stupid bullshit about each other because of the color of our skin. Jelloun's daughter was ten at the time, and it is very accessible to this age group. I fully intend to lend this book to Jefferson to read. However, this essay does not address institutional or systematic racism at all - a strange failing since it was born from conversations with his daughter at a demonstration protesting anti-immigrant laws in France. I was disappointed, and had this essay been the only essay in the book, I probably would have given it 4, or maybe even 3 stars.

But the essays that follow add such breadth and complexity to the issue as to jack this book up to a 5 star rating. These four other essays expand upon the idea, examining intersections with national and religious identities as well. The David Mura essay, in particular, addresses systemic racism.

The best thing about the book is that it acknowledges that talking about race with your children is scary, messy, and very, very necessary. ( )

Tahar Ben Jelloun wrote racisme expliqué à ma fille1997 in dialogue with his then 10-year old daughter; also two of her school friends read and contributed to it. He says he had to rewrite the text many times so as to achieve clarity, simplicity and objectivity; this, I think he achieved (a few misplaced formulations were pointed out later by correspondents and included in the appendix). The text is aimed at 8- to 14-year-old children as racism, he says (and he is right of course), needs to be fought by educating the young. Appended to this edition are reactions – questions and comments - of pupils in discussions following talks he gave as well as a selection of positive criticism from the many letters he received –not all of the comments can be easily answered.

«La montée des haines» : The first dialog with his daughter is, in this edition, followed by a second dialog 7 years later. Both, father and daughter try to understand why racism, anti-semitism and islamophobia has grown in these years.They discuss the terms integration, acceptation, assimilation, identity …and their consequences. Relevant to France is the strict separation of state and religion (the law of 1905 concerning «laïcité») which is not the case in other European states e.g. Britain and Germany where each group has the right to live their differences with the risk of being enclosed in their own small community. Britain could never adopt «laïcité» as long as the monarch is the head of both, the State and the State-Religion.

It is a thoughtful introduction to this complex issue written for children (but not just for children!) and should be part of the curriculum. (III-17) ( )
