Over the last four decades, the largest French-speaking state in
North America, Quebec, has nested more than a dozen vibrant modes
of French expression created by members of the varied cultural
communities that have settled there. Voices of Exile in
Contemporary Canadian Francophone Literature examines the works of
several first-generation Canadian authors originating from Lebanon,
Iraq, Egypt, and the Maghreb, who produced a trilingual literature
that reflects the diversity of their cultural backgrounds. By
casting a critical eye on the works of Saad Elkhadem, Naim Kattan,
Abla Farhoud, Wajdi Mouawad, and Hedi Bouraoui, F. Elizabeth Dahab
explores themes, styles, and structures that characterize the
oeuvre of those authors. Dahab demonstrates that their mode is
exile, and in so doing, she reveals the ways in which these writers
seek to shape their art, using a host of innovative techniques that
engage their renewed cultural identity."
