Rather than merely read the Maghreb in the context of its European colonizers from across the Mediterranean, Talbayev compellingly argues for a transmaritime deployment of the Maghreb across the multiple Mediterranean sites to which it has been materially and culturally bound for millennia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Transcontinental Maghreb reveals these Mediterranean imaginaries to intersect with Maghrebi claims to an inclusive, democratic national ideal yet to be realized. Through a sustained reflection on allegory and critical melancholia, the book shows how the Mediterranean decenters postcolonial nation-building projects and mediates the nomadic subject's reinsertion into a national collective respectful of heterogeneity. In engaging the space of the sea, the hybridity it produces, and the way it has shaped such historical dynamics as globalization, imperialism, decolonization, and nationalism, the book rethinks the very nature of postcolonial histories and identities along its shores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwige Tamalet Talbayev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823275159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823275151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Initiative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018","brand":"Edwige Tamalet Talbayev","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372321755391,"sku":"9780823275151","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8663f84a-d115-49bd-a49a-a78870f8a341.jpg?v=1732725628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-transcontinental-maghreb-edwige-tamalet-talbayev-9780823275151","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
