Postcolonial Counterpoint is a critical study of Orientalism and
the state of Francophone and postcolonial studies, examined through
the lens of the historical and cross-cultural relations between
France and North Africa. Thoroughly questioning the inability of
Western academia to shake free of universalism and essentialism and
come to grips with the Orientalism within postcolonial discourse,
Farid Laroussi offers a cultural tour d'horizon which considers
Andre Gide's writing on Algeria, literature by French authors of
Maghrebi descent, and the conversation surrounding secularism and
the headscarf in France. A provocative investigation of the place
of Muslims and Islam in Francophone culture, Postcolonial
Counterpoint asks how we must proceed if postcolonial studies is to
make a difference in reconciling history, identity, citizenship,
and Islam in the West.
