BOOK

Jones, Christa. Cave Culture in Maghrebi Literature: Imagining Self and Nation.

Lanham: Lexington Books, 2012.

o Single-author monograph. Published in Francophone Literature Series:

“After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial

France.” Series editor: Dr. Valérie K. Orlando.

2

Monograph discusses key postcolonial Francophone North African texts, addressing

folktales, war, Berber traditions, femininity, sexuality, the Algerian War of Independence

and the Algerian Civil War. It analyses the literary and cultural evidence testifying to the

role of the cave as a locus of worship, transfiguration, dominance, and revelation in the

context of colonial and postcolonial power struggles, and its wider significance in the

context of nationalism and femininity, sexuality, and postcolonial identity construction.
