2010 is the 100th anniversary of Jean Genet's birth. The final decades (1968-1986) of his life were preoccupied with the struggles of the disenfranchised: the Black Panthers, Baader-Meinhof, and the Palestinians; Laroche's book is a careful philosophical and historical reading of these groups and Genet's relation to them.
