Since the American translation of Bettina Stangneth's reworking of Adolf Eichmann's tape recordings , which Sassen's father recorded with historical revisionist intent in Argentina in the 1950s, Saskia Sassen has been criticized by her New York friends, to whom she had introduced her father inexperienced. Sassen replied that her father despised Hitler.

Quote

Commenting on the riots in France in 2005 , Sassen said:

“In the US, impoverished citizens are called ' white trash '. Their exclusion is not about race , but about class . I think that there is this layer of impoverished whites in France too, whom many consider rubbish. But then you use a term like ' Muslim ' to create 'the other '. That makes what happens seemingly explainable. (...)
The young people in Paris do not rebel against the state, but against the police , against figures of authority . The police, on the other hand, think the aim is to contain terror. There is research into what happens when young people are kept in jail. You only get angrier. I hope there is a smarter answer, one that says, 'We need to talk to people'. "
