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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This book is a must-read for scholars and graduate students who are interested in broadening\u003cbr\u003etheir scope when dealing with works of French authors and filmmakers of North African\u003cbr\u003edescent.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eH-France Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – Véronique Machelidon and Patrick Saveau\u003cbr\u003e1 ‘Qui fait la France?’ New configurations of Frenchness in contemporary urban fiction – Steve Puig\u003cbr\u003e2 Breaking the chains of ethnic identity: Faïza Guène, Saphia Azzeddine, and Nadia Bouzid, or the birth of a new Maghrebi-French women’s literature – Patrick Saveau\u003cbr\u003e3 From daughter to mother, from sister to brother: building identities in Faïza Guène’s novels – Florina Matu\u003cbr\u003e4 The immigrant in Abdellatif Kechiche’s cinematic work: transcending the question of origins – Emna Mrabet\u003cbr\u003e5 Seeking paths to existence in Rachid Djaïdani’s \u003ci\u003eRengaine \u003c\/i\u003e– Mona El Khoury\u003cbr\u003e6 \u003ci\u003eBeur\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ebanlieue\u003c\/i\u003e television comedies: new perspectives on immigration – Caroline Fache \u003cbr\u003e7 They had a dream: out-marching exclusion and hatred – Jimia Boutouba\u003cbr\u003e8 Narrativizing foreclosed history in ‘postmemorial’ fiction of the Algerian War in France: October 17, 1961, a case in point – Michel Laronde\u003cbr\u003e9 Unearthing the father’s secret: postmemory and identity in \u003ci\u003eharki \u003c\/i\u003eand pied-noir narratives – Véronique Machelidon\u003cbr\u003e10 Representations of the \u003ci\u003eharkis\u003c\/i\u003e in contemporary French-language films – Susan Ireland\u003cbr\u003e11 ‘L’oued revient toujours dans son lit’: Franco-Maghrebi identity in Hassan Legzouli’s film \u003ci\u003eTen’ja \u003c\/i\u003e– Ramona Mielusel\u003cbr\u003e12 Rewriting the memory of immigration: Samuel Zaoui’s \u003ci\u003eSaint Denis \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ebout du monde\u003c\/i\u003e – Mireille Le Breton\u003cbr\u003e13 \u003ci\u003eHarragas\u003c\/i\u003e in Mediterranean \u003ci\u003eilliterature\u003c\/i\u003e and cinema – Hakim Abderrezak\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041004159319,"sku":"9781526143532","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reimagining-north-african-immigration-identities-in-flux-in-french-literature-television-and-film-9781526143532","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
