In the process, she became one of the most important figures in North African literature. In \u003cem\u003eAssia Djebar\u003c\/em\u003e, Jane Hiddleston traces Djebar's development as a writer against the backdrop of North Africa's tumultuous history. Whereas Djebar's early writings were largely an attempt to delineate clearly the experience of being a woman, an intellectual, and an Algerian embedded in that often violent history, she had in her more recent work evinced a growing sense that the influence of French culture on Algerian letters may make such a project impossible. The first book-length study of this significant writer, \u003cem\u003eAssia Djebar\u003c\/em\u003e will be of tremendous interest to anyone studying post-colonial literature, women's studies or Francophone culture in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602750619799,"sku":"9781846316852","price":5747.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781846316852.webp?v=1775012787","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/assia-djebar-out-of-algeria-9781846316852","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
