The Arab-Israeli Conflict: Amin Maalouf's Les Croisades vues par les Arabes and Les échelles du Levant, Myriam Antaki's Les versets du pardon -- The Arab-Israeli Conflict beyond the Middle East: Albert Memmi, Edmond Amran El Maleh, Farid Boudjellal, and Karin Albou -- The Lebanese Civil War: Andrée Chédid's La maison sans racines and Evelyne Accad's L'excisée -- The Algerian Civil War: Rachid Boudjedra's Le FIS de la haine, Rachid Mimouni's De la barbarie en général et de l'intégrisme en particulier, and Une enfance algérienne -- Islam and the French Republic: the affair of the Muslim headscarf in works by Tahar Ben Jelloun, Abdelwahab Meddeb, Amin Maalouf, Albert Memmi, Leïla Sebbar, and Yamina Benguigui -- Portrait of a terrorist: Slimane Benaïssa and Salim Bachi's 9/11 novels -- Conclusion: the politics of translation: Francophone literature from the Arab World in the U.S. 520 1 "The Star, the Cross, and the Crescent analyzes fiction, films, comics, autobiographical narratives, and essays by Francophone Arab writers whose Christian (Accad, Antaki, Chedid, Maalouf), Jewish (Albou, Cixous, El Maleh, Memmil, Muslim (Bachi, Benaissa, Benguigui, Ben Jelloun, Boudjedra, Boudjellal, Meddeb, Mimouni), and secular (Sebbar) backgrounds are emblematic of the diversity of the Francophone Arab world. It examines how these writers represent the intertwining of religion and politics against the backdrop of the current international political context and the resurgence of religion. Focusing on a series of disputes commonly framed in religious terms (with Islam as the common denominator for all: the Arab- Israeli conflict, the Lebanese and the Algerian civil wars, the affair of the Muslim headscarf in France, and 9/11), this book questions the effectiveness of the Francophone studies model in providing insights into the complexity of the Islamic Revival. The study concludes by unpacking the influence of politics on the translation of these works in the United States. It brings heightened awareness to the modalities according to which a creative work can serve as a cultural mediator."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 North African literature (French)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85092451|y20th century|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001187 650 0 French literature|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85051865|xArab authors|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2005000996|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 French literature|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85051865|zArab countries|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85006278-781|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001187 650 0 French literature|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104109 650 0 Islam in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85068431 650 0 Social conflict in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85123928 650 0 Politics in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85104473 650 0 War in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85145182 650 7 North African literature (French)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1039157 650 7 French literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934688 650 7 Authors, Arab.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/821793 650 7 Islam in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 979899 650 7 Social conflict in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1122407 650 7 Politics in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1896084 650 7 War in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1170505 651 7 Arab countries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1240128 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBourget, Carine.|tStar, the cross, and the crescent.|b1st paperback ed.|dLanham, Md. : Lexington Books, ©2012|z9780739126585|w(OCoLC)809549874 830 0 After the empire.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2003035768 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=492682|zOnline eBook.
