The Western white man, from the beginning of his history, looked down on the other. The term "barbarian", which the Greeks and Romans used with a negative connotation for the great civilizations of North Africa, had its roots in the same racism and xenophobia that still exists in the West today. What the Greeks called Berbers were actually a group of tribes living in North Africa called "Amazighs" meaning "free man". Nations with a history of thousands of years, who were not wild and not so militant, but these were the Greeks, Romans, Germans, Arabs, and Turks who always attacked these lands and their people and started killing and looting. This constant struggle and humiliation of the people of these lands continued for centuries. In the 19th century, the French Empire dominated Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco and kept these countries under its control for many years by force of arms and bayonets. Morocco was one of the few remaining lands of the Amazigh civilization, where the French established a government called "French Morocco" in 1912, which was dissolved after the Second World War and in 1956 after years of popular struggle. The book "The Land of Others" tells the story of the years after World War II and the life of the Moroccan people under the colonial rule of the French government and their struggle for freedom and independence. Homelessness begins its story with a beautiful French woman whose love for a Moroccan man brought her to this colony after World War II. Mathilde and Amin entered this country at the beginning of the Moroccan people's struggle, and the first ten years of their life together were spent in the midst of the struggle for independence. However, the novel "Leila Soleimani" has many layers that go beyond the narration of the history and wars of independence of a country and its people. A twisted story that shows the life of a French woman among people who want to get out of the control of her countrymen at any cost! Mathilde is separated from herself, her hometown, the land of her husband, and her new family, like all strangers in the homeland, in this turbulent time, in this turbulent time!
