Description

Abdelkebir Khatibi (1938-2009) was once a number of the most renowned North African literary critics and authors of the past century whose unique treatments of subjects as vast as orientalism, otherness, coloniality, aesthetics, linguistics, sexuality, and the nature of recent critique have inspired major figures in postcolonial theory, deconstruction, and beyond. At once a philosophical visionary and provocative creator, Khatibi’s impressive contributions have been well-established all the way through French and continental literary circles for several decades.

As such, this English translation of one of his masterworks, Maghreb Pluriel (1983), marks a pivotal turn in the opportunity to wrest some of Khatibi’s most profound meditations to the leading edge of a more global audience. Including such highly significant pieces as “Other-Thought,” “Double Critique,” “Bilingualism and Literature,” and “Disoriented Orientalism,” the ambition at the back of this volume is to showcase the real experimental complexity and conceptual depth of Khatibi’s thinking. Engaging the cultural-intellectual urgencies of a colonial frontier (in this case, the so-known as Middle East/North Africa) this book expands our contemplative boundaries to render a globally-dynamic observation that traverses the East-West divide.
