Abdelkebir Khatibi (1938-2009) was among the most renowned North
African literary critics and authors of the past century whose
unique treatments of subjects as vast as orientalism, otherness,
coloniality, aesthetics, linguistics, sexuality, and the nature of
contemporary critique have inspired major figures in postcolonial
theory, deconstruction, and beyond. At once a philosophical
visionary and provocative writer, Khatibi's impressive
contributions have been well-established throughout French and
continental literary circles for several decades. As such, this
English translation of one of his masterworks, Maghreb Pluriel
(1983), marks a pivotal turn in the opportunity to wrest some of
Khatibi's most profound meditations to the forefront of a more
global audience. Including such highly significant pieces as
"Other-Thought," "Double Critique," "Bilingualism and Literature,"
and "Disoriented Orientalism," the ambition behind this volume is
to showcase the true experimental complexity and conceptual depth
of Khatibi's thinking. Engaging the cultural-intellectual urgencies
of a colonial frontier (in this case, the so-called Middle
East/North Africa) this book expands our contemplative boundaries
to render a globally-dynamic commentary that traverses the
East-West divide.
