Two Questers in the Twentieth-century North Africa
This book offers a unique exploration of the work of Paul Bowles and Ibrahim Alkoni, and reveals timely insights into the relationship between the West and the Orient, showing that they both challenge and extend existing scholarship on this subject. It builds on a sound theoretical platform which serves as a solid foundation for the analysis of the overarching theme. Theories of place, representation, Orientalism and post-colonialism are discussed in depth and are linked to the deconstruction and analysis of the selected literary texts, helping the reader understand the various quests and motivations of the protagonists of the works of Bowles and Alkoni. The first part of the book looks into...
Racism
Of all mankinds' vices, racism is one of the most pervasive and stubborn. Success in overcoming racism has been achieved from time to time, but victories have been limited thus far because mankind has focused on personal economic gain or power grabs ignoring generosity of the soul. This bibliography brings together the literature.

Imaginaire et espace dans les mondes arabe et hébraïque
Le défi de cette vaste enquête est d’intégrer dans une même réflexion sur l’imaginaire et l’espace à la fois le tracé de la frontière à l’époque antique, le legs de la mythologie mésopotamienne, les « poètes brigands » dans la littérature classique arabe, l’histoire d’Al-Qaïda, l’action des Houthistes du Yémen, les frontières mouvantes de l’État d’Israël et le sort des détenus jihadistes dans les prisons françaises, pour ne citer que quelques exemples des nombreuses thématiques abordées au long d’une vingtaine de contributions rédigées par des spécialistes. Tout le mérite de cette approche est d’illustrer la porosité des héritages juifs et arabes, les passages et emprunts innombrables d’un univers à l’autre au fil du temps, et cela dans tous les domaines. Le livre œuvre à rappeler cette évidence, obligeant ses lecteurs à sortir de leurs frontières personnelles – et aux spécialistes, de leurs frontières professionnelles. L’espace apparaît comme le dépositaire de multiples mémoires, défini et borné pour être mieux dépassé.
The Philosophy of Desert Metaphors in Ibrahim Al-Koni
A Tuareg by birth, Ibrahim al-Koni is no longer considered to be simply an emerging author. His works have now earned him international repute and prestigious academic recognition. Themed primarily around a desert context, his novels have been categorized as post-modern, polyphonic, magical or socialist realism, and Sufi fabula. This book takes a close look at one of al-Koni's works - The Bleeding of the Stone- and attempts to prise out philosophical reflections concealed in the text. In it the desert provides a landscape rich in allusions while metaphors allow readers to engage in creative interpretation. This is explored to the full by Meinrad Calleja in The Philosophy of Desert Metaphors in Ibrahim al-Koni - The Bleeding of the Stone.
