ill. The chapters of this book offer a broad overview of the
culturally rich, complex, and rapidly changing world of
Arab-Islamic North Africa. The authors are scholars and professors
who represent a wide range of nationalities, specializations,
methodologies, and points of view. Fields of interest included in
the volume are women and Islam, the Berber question, Islamic
reassertion, U.S. foreign policy, the transnational Maghrebi
migrant in Europe, film, music, and language and literature. This
book provides valuable insights for students, scholars, and others
interested in a part of Africa that has a venerable history and
culture and that is becoming more and more intertwined with Europe
and the United States. Contents: Ralph M. Coury: Introduction -
