Reviews
“In this beautifully written book, Jessica de Oliveira brings a poetic sensibility to the exploration of the links between literature and colonial memory in the Maghreb. Her investigation of postcolonial literary texts in the Maghreb illuminates the ways in which narratives are not only aesthetic spaces, but also (and especially in the case of the Maghreb) spaces of historical memory and collective mourning.” (Alina Sajed, Associate Professor of International Relations, McMaster University, Canada)
“Postcolonial Maghreb invites the reader to revisit one’s worlds and its meanings. By focusing on narration and literature, the author provides a powerful critique of the limits of IR as a way of speaking about and conversing with these multiples worlds we inhabit. It is mandatory reading for all scholars and students interested in traveling through novel and uncharted paths of being in-with global relations, profoundly marked by injustice, forgetting and inequality.” (Carolina Moulin, UFMG, Brazil, and co-editor of Review of International Studies)
