These musical artists, also predominantly Muslim, posit that the French model of cultural and religious assimilation actually precludes full societal integration: ‘Mo…

Since the self-immolation of Tunisian Mohamed Bouazizi in December 2010 unleashed the pro-democracy movements now popularly known as the “Arab Spring”, the clamor for change and opportunity has continued to sweep through the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.

The nebulous ‘space between two coasts’ is an important site of this re-negotiation, one that draws upon cultural links of the past in order to understand the present. Cuentos de las dos orillas [Tales of two shores], …
