THE CITY WITHOUT A NAME - MARSEILLE IN THE MOUTHS OF THOSE WHO ASSASSINATED IT

Despised, feared, hated, Marseille has never ceased to excite the verve of the powerful and their servants. In The City Without a Name, Bruno Le Dantec brings together a terrifying collection of quotes from all eras, which express this hatred of Marseille and the people of Marseille, always too independent, too rebellious, too poor. Fifteen years after the first edition, published at the beginning of the gentrification of the city, the author has updated his selection and completely revised its presentation text. In the meantime, "Marseille 2013", the ransacking of the Plain and the collapses of the rue d'Aubagne have highlighted the ongoing city-wide social war - and one that is unlikely to end soon finish.
