Re: parution

Je vous remercie: ça a l'air vraiment intéressant en effet. Je fais passer votre message sur la liste de diffusion (forum).
Il faudrait cependant pour un signalement dans la base de données donner les références complètes. Le mieux est que vous utilisiez le formulaire de signalement qui se trouve sur le site Limag, choix Base de données, puis Signaler des livres. Et comme il s'agit apparemment d'un recueil d'articles, faire la même chose un peu plus tard, lorsque j'aurai vérifié et confirmé la référence du livre, avec le choix Signaler des articles.
Cordialement,
Charles Bonn

The Star, the Cross, and the Crescent: Religions and Conflicts in Francophone Literature from the Arab World.
The Star, the Cross, and the Crescent analyzes fiction, films, comics, autobiographical narratives, and essays by Francophone Arab writers whose Christian (Accad, Antaki, Chédid, Maalouf), Jewish (Albou, Cixous, El Maleh, Memmi), Muslim (Bachi, Benaïssa, Benguigui, Ben Jelloun, Boudjedra, Boudjellal, Meddeb, Mimouni), and secular (Sebbar) backgrounds are emblematic of the diversity of the Francophone Arab world. It examines how these writers represent the intertwining of religion and politics against the backdrop of the current international political context and the resurgence of religion. Focusing on a series of disputes commonly framed in religious terms (with Islam as the common denominator for all: the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Lebanese and the Algerian civil wars, the affair of the Muslim headscarf in France, and 9/11), this book questions the effectiveness of the Francophone studies model in providing insights into the complexity of the Islamic Revival. The study concludes by unpacking the influence of politics on the translation of these works in the U.S. It brings heightened awareness to the modalities according to which a creative work can serve as a cultural mediator.

"Carine Bourget boldly delivers a probing critique of firmly ensconced views of Islam, Muslim minorities in France, and Muslims in Arab Francophone societies. Bourget forcefully rearticulates thorny political and theoretical issues at the intersection of Islam, politics, history, and Francophone literature. Her analysis of Francophone cultural productions is an original and important contribution and is likely to spark a thoughtful and informed debate on issues at the core of the field of Francophone and cultural studies."—Safoi Babana-Hampton, Michigan State University
"Bourget ingeniously elaborates a spirited and unapologetic critique of the political economy of publishing and translation in the United States and of the failures of canonized Franco-Arab littérateurs and comprador intellectuals to attend to the multiple grievances of their societies of origin at a time when their voices were in high demand. The Star, the Cross, and the Crescent is without a doubt an important step in the laudable endeavor to examine the role of Islam in ongoing decolonial struggles and a major contribution to the study of Francophone Arab literature and culture."—Nouri Gana, University of California, Los Angeles
"This book represents a courageous, well articulated, and significant critique of important texts by both major and less well-known writers that scholars have generally shied away from criticizing."—Anne Donadey, San Diego State University
