'Focusing on francophone writing from North Africa as it has
developed since the 1980s, Writing After Postcolonialism explores
the extent to which the notion of 'postcolonialism' is still
resonant for literary writers a generation or more after
independence, and examines the troubled status of literature in
society and politics during this period. Whilst analysing the ways
in which writers from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have reacted to
political unrest and social dissatisfaction, Jane Hiddleston offers
a compelling reflection on literature's ability to interrogate the
postcolonial nation as well as on its own uncertain role in the
current context. The book sets out both to situate the recent
generation of francophone writers in North Africa in relation to
contemporary politics, to postcolonial theory, and evolving notions
of 'world literature, and to probe the ways in which a new and
highly sophisticated set of writers reflect on the very notion of
'the literary' during this period of transition.'
