About the Author

Moustafa was born in 1972 in Paris. He belongs to the first generation of Africans born in France. His early years were difficult ones. At the age of four he was diagnosed with strong myopia and could therefore not achieve well at school.

Feeling somehow secluded in an aforesaid modern society both because of the colour of his skin and his failing eyes, Moustafa build up his own personality during his teenage.

His encounter with the English language was a real love affair, a means to express his concerns and inner feelings. But also a means to be noticed once more and this time for the better.

Traore Moustafa is also completing a Ph.D in British and Commonwealth studies, at the Sorbonne University, on the topic of the integration of the Muslim subculture in Britain from theory to reality.
