Wat een opkomst!! Onwijs trots op al die studenten en docenten die wéér zijn gaan staken. Het is tijd om een einde te maken aan de monsterbezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs. Ik reken op al mijn collega’s in de Tweede Kamer. #stopdesloop #kennisismacht

Sayad's work is so good and I wish it found a broader audience both inside and outside the Francophone world. Thinking the Irish emigration experience through Sayad would be fascinating.
Currently re-reading Abdelmalek #Sayad for an article.
Keep on being amazed by how many of his observations of French society in the late 1980s seem still so fresh & timely.
