(Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2020)
Part of the series “After the Empire: The Francophone World and Postcolonial France,” this book argues that the identity politics surrounding the immigration discourse of early 21st century France were reflected in the marketing and editing practices of the Metropole’s key publishers, specifically regarding non-white French women’s literature. “Mouflard’s research highlights the discrepancies between France’s official discourse on immigration, and the actual identity formation processes created by the institutions and exploited by influential publishers, in the years leading to the historic 2005 banlieue civil unrest,” the publisher noted.
