Focus on women writers, ethnic and gender stereotypes in the texts (novels, short stories, films) and paratexts (publishing materials, online and print media) of twentieth-and twenty-first century "female" postcolonial literature in France. Readings include works by Bellil; Bessora; Bouraoui; Pineau.
