These authors witnessed both the \"before\" and \"after\" of the colonial experience in their land, and their fictional and theoretical texts testify to the lasting impact of this history. From a variety of personal perspectives and backgrounds, each writer addresses linguistic, religious, and racial issues of crucial contemporary importance in Algeria. Alison Rice engages their work from a range of disciplines, striving both to heighten our sensitivity to the plurality inherent in their texts and to move beyond a true\/false dichotomy to a wealth of possible truths, all communicated in writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813932912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813932910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013","brand":"Alison Rice","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965155328255,"sku":"9780813932910","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92e6b562-6ba7-49b5-9a23-52b82145393d.jpg?v=1767278860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polygraphies-alison-rice-9780813932910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
