By exploring dynamic Jewish-Muslim interactions across North Africa
and France through performance culture in the 20th and 21st
centuries, we offer an alternative chronology and lens to a growing
trend in media and scholarship that views these interactions
primarily through conflict. Our volume interrogates interaction
that crosses the genres of theatre, music, film, art, and stand-up,
emphasising creative influence and artistic cooperation between
performers from the Maghrib, with a focus on Algeria, Tunisia,
Morocco, and diaspora communities, notably in France. The plays,
songs, films, images, and comedy sketches that we analyse are
multilingual, mixing not only with the former colonial language
French, but also the rich diversity of indigenous Amazigh and
Arabic languages. The volume includes contributions by scholars
working across and beyond disciplinary boundaries through
anthropology, ethnomusicology, history, sociology, and literature,
engaging with postcolonial studies, memory studies, cultural
studies, and transnational French studies. The first section
examines accents, affiliations, and exchange, with an emphasis on
aesthetics, familiarity, changing social roles, and cultural
entrepreneurship. The second section shifts to consider departure
and lingering presence through spectres and taboos, in its
exploration of absence, influence, and elision. The volume
concludes with an autobiographical afterword, which reflects on
memories and legacies of Jewish-Muslim interactions across the
Mediterranean. Contributors: Cristina Moreno Almeida, Jamal Bahmad,
