Beginning with the earliest pictograms and rock drawings and ending with the work of the current generation of post-independence and diasporic writers, this volume takes in a range of cultures and voices, including Berber, Phoenician, Jewish, Roman, Vandal, Arab, Ottoman, and French. Though concentrating on oral and written poetry and narratives, the book also draws on historical and geographical treatises, philosophical and esoteric traditions, song lyrics, and current prose experiments. These selections are arranged in five chronological "diwans" or chapters, which are interrupted by a series of "books" that supply extra detail, giving context or covering specific cultural areas in concentrated fashion. The selections are contextualized by a general introduction that situates the importance of this little-known culture area and individual commentaries for nearly each author. 606 $aNorth African literature 610 $aafrican literature. 610 $aafrican poetry. 610 $aal andalus. 610 $aalgeria. 610 $aanthology. 610 $aarabo berber literature. 610 $abook club reads. 610 $aglobal literature. 610 $ahistorical survey. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ajewish literature. 610 $alibya. 610 $alit analysis. 610 $alit students. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterary critics. 610 $aliterary studies. 610 $aliterary. 610 $aliterature and culture. 610 $amaghreb. 610 $amauritania. 610 $amorocco. 610 $anorth africa. 610 $anorth african poets. 610 $aoral literatures. 610 $apoetry collection. 610 $aspain. 610 $atunisia. 610 $aworld poetry. 615 0$aNorth African literature. 676 $a808.8/9961 701 $aJoris$b Pierre$01156277 701 $aTengour$b Habib$0658013 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821965603321 996 $aPoems for the millennium$94062986 997 $aUNINA
