However, French literature has never been consistently examined through the lens of race, ethnicity, and its relation to (post)coloniality. Fictions of Race in Contemporary French Literature is the first scholarly study to engage with the figure of the White writer and explore the\n\u003cbr\u003eWhite literary gaze in contemporary France. The book highlights the inherent postcoloniality of White Hexagonal literature in a context marked by institutionalized colour-blindness, and offers a reflection on\n\u003cbr\u003eresponsible writing in and about postcolonial France.The book identifies a set of formal features, functions, and aesthetic dispositions which reveal the ways in which White writers grapple with  postcolonial subjects. It focuses on seven case studies featuring texts by Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes, Annie Ernaux, Nicolas Fargues, Pierre Lemaitre, Édouard Louis, and Nicolas Mathieu. Achille and Panaïté argue that it is imperative to recast the\n\u003cbr\u003eenduring boundedness of race and empire as a matter of equal concern to White and non-White writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059077632238,"sku":"9780198893134","price":130.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198893134.jpg?v=1736490282","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/fictions-of-race-in-contemporary-french-literature-french-writers","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
