Author Description

In 1984, as Jean Genet was preparing the edition of his major articles, he chose to start with a text that did not belong with the rest of the articles included in the collection. “The Declared Enemy,” which would become the title of Albert Dichy's reference edition of Genet's articles and interviews from 1964 to 1986, was written in Tangiers the same year that Genet was invited to encourage support of and bear witness to the repression suffered by the Black Panther Party (1970).
