Muslim Women in French Cinema: Voices of Maghrebi Migrants in
France is the first comprehensive study of cinematic
representations of first-generation Muslim women from the Maghreb
(Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) in France. Women of this generation
migrated to France during the decades preceding and following the
end of French colonial rule, and they are generally - though not
always accurately - regarded as belonging to a generation of
migrants silenced under the weight of poverty, illiteracy, Islamic
tradition, and majority ethnic Islamophobia. Situated at the
intersection of post-colonial studies, gender studies, and film
studies, this book brings together a diverse corpus of over 60
documentaries, short films, telefilms (made-for-television films),
and feature films released in France between 1979 and 2014, and it
devotes one chapter to each kind of film. In examining the ways in
which the voices, experiences, and points of view of Maghrebi
migrant women in France are represented and communicated through a
selection of key films, this study offers new perspectives on
Maghrebi migrant women in France. It shows that women of this
generation, as they are represented in these films, are far more
diverse and often more empowered than has generally been thought.
The films examined in this book contribute to larger contemporary
debates and discussions relating to immigration, integration, and
identity in France.
