This course will examine the evolution of Francophone literature and cinema in North Africa, from the colonial era to the present. We will proceed chronologically to discuss the various generations of artists who used literature and cinema to bring into light socioeconomic as well as political points of contention such as French colonization of North Africa, the Algerian War of Independence, decolonization, emigration, and sexuality. We will approach these topics by reading literary as well as historical writings. We will also study films from some of North Africa’s most prominent directors.

Prerequisite(s): FREN 220 or 230
