Houria Bouteldja

Houria Bouteldja (French pronunciation: [uʁja butɛldʒa], Arabic: حورية بوتلجة; born January 5, 1973) is a French-Algerian political activist.

Born in Constantine, Algeria, on 5 January 1973, Houria Bouteldja emigrated with her parents to France as a child.

[2] The Indigènes de la République organized as a movement to denounce France's colonial past, to fight against the discrimination suffered by the "descendants of colonized populations" and, more broadly, against the racist and colonialist ideology which they argue underpins the current social policies of the French state.

[4] On 24 October 2012, she was sprayed with paint by a man in front of the Institut du Monde Arabe, an action claimed the next day by the Jewish Defense League (LDJ), already implicated in two similar attacks.

The book considers questions of solidarity, Jean-Paul Sartre's views on Israel and Palestinian self-determination, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Europe, the foreclosure of the possibility of solidarity between Jews and Arabs, and the status of women and people of colour in Europe.
