"The Savage Father, one of Pasolini's least known books, is also one of his most important challenges to himself and the world. Set in the period of African de-colonization, the book pits assumed western cultural supremacy against the struggle for freedom and self-assertion. The Savage Father is a deep analysis of the internal struggle of both the colonizer and the colonized and the externalized and conditioning to which both are prey" - Pasquale Verdicchio. {Guernica Editions}
