The sixtieth anniversary of the end of the Algerian War
Inside the Battle of Algiers
Résurgence de l’Histoire dans la fiction
Looking back on a nation’s struggle
This article examines the memoirs of three former militants who, in the later years of their lives, reflect on the significance of their participation in the anticolonial struggle: Louisette Ighilahriz at 64, Zohra Drif at 79, Yamina Cherrad Bennaceur at 81. I choose these three memoirs because each recounts a remarkable journey to empowerment and when brought together they emphasize the collective nature of the liberation struggle. Drif played a…

Ecritures en transhumance entre Maghreb et Afrique subsaharienne
Domestic matters
Beginning with Mariama B's Une si longue lettre [So long a letter] , this article examines representations of domestic space in francophone African women's fiction. In B's text, woman's subjectivity is inextricably linked to domestic space and domesticity is valued as both a refuge and a site of rebellion. The study continues with an analysis of two texts that are bolder and more aggressive in their struggle against patriarchy than B's novel: Cal…
Edward Said and Assia Djebar
In Orientalism, Edward Said defines the relationship between the Occident and the Orient as one of power and domination, positing Orientalism as an exclusively male phenomenon, and the Oriental woman a projection of European male fantasy. It is fitting, therefore, to examine Algerian women's writings as expressions of resistance to Empire. This article proposes to read Djebar and Said's personal trajectories "contrapuntally" and then apply his th…
Tribute to Edward Said
After more than a decade of struggling with leukemia, Edward Said succumbed to the disease on 24 September 2003 at the age of 67. Many members of the African Literature Assoeiation were aware that he was losing the battle against cancer. Illness had prevented him from addressing the ALA Conference in Alexandria, Egypt, last spring. Literary critic and advocate for Palestinian independence, Said was born in Jerusalem in 1935, during the British ma…

Sine and Seine
As a member of the group of American students, scholars, and teachers discovering Senegal during the 1970s, the first decade following independence, I came to know a country led by a poet-president Léopold Sédar Senghor. In 1969, the year I arrived, President Senghor was elected to the French Academy of Moral Sciences, filling a chair vacated by the late Konrad Adenauer. In addition, the World Festival of Negro Arts, a highly successful conferenc…

African literature in French
Francophone African literature is a product of the fait colonial , France’s colonial conquest that brought French schools to her African colonies north and south of the Sahara, educational institutions whose mission civilisatrice (civilizing mission) was to bring French civilization to the “dark continent.” Examining the process of colonization in French Africa, we can trace the earliest beginnings of the civilizing mission to Abbé Grégoire, the …

Le thème de la femme dans les pays en voie de développement continue à faire couler beaucoup d’encre dans les universités américaines où la division d’hier entre chercheurs confirmant l’exploitation de la femme et leurs collègues prouvant l’éveil de la conscience féministe se mue aujourd’hui en une analyse plus nuancée qui met en évidence la complexité et les contradictions du vécu féminin. En tant que chercheurs examinant la situation de la femm…
