In the process, she has become one of the most important figures in North African literature. In Assia Djebar, Jane Hiddleston traces Djebar’s development as a writer against the backdrop of North Africa’s tumultuous history. Whereas Djebar’s early writings were largely an attempt to delineate clearly the experience of being a woman, an intellectual, and an Algerian embedded in that often violent history, she has in her more recent work evinced a growing sense that the influence of French culture on Algerian letters may make such a project impossible. The first book-length study of this significant writer, Assia Djebar will be of tremendous interest to anyone studying post-colonial literature, women’s studies or Francophone culture. 410 0$aContemporary French and francophone cultures ;$v6. 606 $aAlgerian literature (French)$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAlgerians in literature 607 $aAlgeria$xIn literature 615 0$aAlgerian literature (French)$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAlgerians in literature. 676 $a843.914 700 $aHiddleston$b Jane$0850653 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809111903321 996 $aAssia Djebar$93954028 997 $aUNINA
