Their works affirm the chance for thinking afforded by marginalization and exclusion and delineate political ways of preserving a space for difference informed by expropriation and nonbelonging. Cixous's inquiry is steeped in her formative encounter with the grudging integration of the Jews in French Algeria, while Djebar's narratives concern the colonial separation of "French" and "Arab," self and other. Yet both authors elaborate strategies to address inequality and injustice without resorting to tropes of victimization, challenging and transforming the understanding of the history and legacy of colonized space. 606 $aWomen and literature$zAlgeria 606 $aPolitics and literature$zAlgeria 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aPolitics and literature 676 $a843/.914 700 $aWeltman-Aron$b Brigitte$f1961-$01453830 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826104203321 996 $aAlgerian imprints$93943995 997 $aUNINA
