Recenzii
'... the author has to be praised for his relevant selection of authors and texts, and his systematic analysis of two interesting issues: contrast in non-native and native writings, and contrast among the views of English-speaking writers. Another significant strength of the text is the author’s concise, lucid, and accessible writing style... the book can be highly recommended. It is a noteworthy contribution to the field of postcolonial African Studies, and it will be greatly appreciated by any scholar wishing to have a comprehensive reading of a wide variety of complex themes related to expatriate literature in general, and English-speaking intellectual circles in Morocco in particular.' African Studies Quarterly 'Writing Tangier in the Postcolonial Transition serves as a fine example of the sort of work the author’s subject deserves. It is well-written, contains two very useful maps, and a helpful bibliography.' Transnational Literature
