Description: Expanding the narrow script of what it means to be Parisian, Laila Amine explores the novels, films, and street art made by Maghrebis, Franco-Arabs, and African Americans, including fiction by Charef, Chraïbi, Sebbar, Baldwin, Smith, and Wright, and such films as La haine, Made in France, Chouchou, and A Son.
Review Quotes: "A powerful, highly relevant, and innovative study of the cultural and political role of France's largest ethnic and religious minority." --Jarrod Hayes, author of Queer Nations: Marginal Sexualities in the Maghreb
