Reimagining North African Immigration : Identities in Flux in French Literature, Television, and Film, Hardback Book

Reimagining North African Immigration : Identities in Flux in French Literature, Television, and Film Hardback

Edited by Veronique Machelidon, Patrick Saveau

Hardback

Description

This volume takes the pulse of French post-coloniality by studying representations of trans-Mediterranean immigration to France in recent literature, television and film.

The writers and filmmakers examined have found new ways to conceptualize the French heritage of immigration from North Africa and to portray the state of multiculturalism within – and in spite of – a continuing Republican framework.

Their work deflates stereotypes, promotes respect for cultural and ethnic minorities and gives a new dignity to subjects supposedly located on the margins of the Republic.

Establishing a productive dialogue with Marianne Hirsch’s ground-breaking concept of postmemory, this volume provides a much-needed vocabulary for rethinking the intergenerational legacy of trans-Mediterranean immigrants. -- .
