REUPLOAD NEEDED

This book ushers you into many worlds, all of them our world. It is full of voices, sounds, and people. Stay with them, and they will stay with you. The stories here represent eight tenths of a year. A year that kept slipping, yet also kept giving.Their writers gave them freely, and we do, too.Like all stories, they work in a thousand ways. Some lull, some lure. Some pinch, some stretch.Some are like a thicket, some a formal garden; others seem like valleys slick with rain. All replenish and reward.

Experimental Nations Or, the Invention of the Maghreb

Jean-Paul Sartre's famous question, "For whom do we write?" strikes close to home for francophone writers from the Maghreb. Do these writers address their compatriots, many of whom are illiterate or read no French, or a broader audience beyond Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia? In Experimental Nations, Réda Bensmaïa argues powerfully against the tendency to view their works not as literary creations worth considering for their innovative style or language but as "ethnographic" texts and to appraise them only against the "French literary canon."
