Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of
Culture and Politics introduces and makes available, for the first
time in English, an incandescent corpus of experimental leftist
writing from North Africa. Founded in 1966 by Abdellatif Laabi and
a small group of avant-garde Moroccan poets and artists and banned
in 1972, Souffles-Anfas was one of the most influential literary,
cultural, and political reviews to emerge in postcolonial North
Africa. An early forum for tricontinental postcolonial thought and
writing, the journal published texts ranging from experimental
poems, literary manifestos, and abstract art to political tracts,
open letters, and interviews by contributors from the Maghreb, the
Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The essays, poems,
and artwork included in this anthology-by the likes of Abdelkebir
Khatibi, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Albert Memmi, Etel Adnan, Sembene
Ousmane, Rene Depestre, and Mohamed Melehi-offer a unique window
into the political and artistic imaginaries of writers and
intellectuals from the Global South, and resonate with particular
acuity in the wake of the Arab Spring. A critical introduction and
section headnotes make this collection the perfect companion for
courses in postcolonial theory, world literature, and poetry in
translation.
