Post-Migratory Cultures in Postcolonial France

Kathryn Kleppinger and Laura Reeck

Abstract

Post-Migratory Cultures in Postcolonial France offers a critical assessment of the ways in which French writers, filmmakers, musicians and other artists descended from immigrants from former colonial territories bring their specificity to bear on the bounds and applicability of French republicanism, “Frenchness” and national identity, and contemporary cultural production in France.

Keywords: Banlieue, Contemporary French culture, Francophone, Immigrant literature in France, Postcolonial
