The African-Jamaican Aesthetic : Cultural Retention and Transformation Across Borders (original) (raw)

In sum, Writing After Postcolonialism: Francophone North African Literature in Transition provides uniquely focused lenses in narrative activityin-narrative and the literary-in-literature through which Hiddleston explores literary and democratic transitions in the Maghreb. Ultimately, and most importantly, the study leads back through its own viewfinder to an affirmation of the literary imagination. As such, it has a broad and vital implication: it will remind students and researchers, specialists and nonspecialists alike of why writing and the literary imagination are indissociable from the human experience and as such compelling objects of study.
