Description for Queer Nations
paperback. Against a background of independence from France, Jarrod Hayes uses literary analysis to examine how Francophone novelists from the Maghreb imagined a diverse nation peopled by those excluded by the dominant political discourses, especially those breaching traditional sexual norms. Num Pages: 320 pages. BIC Classification: 1HB; 2ADF; 5S; DSBH; DSK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 226 x 154 x 16. Weight in Grams: 436.

Their works imagined a diverse nation peopled by those who were excluded ... Read more
