Swallows under British roofs? conjugal exile of Algerian women.
The historicity of ‘ mixité ’ within each community touches upon shifts in perceptions of outsiders–insiders of dominant cultures. By attending to the life stories of several francophone Algerian women who have married outside and away from their Muslim families, we see how orientalist clichés are c...

These women translate the Saidian paradigm of tragic exile into a journey towards cultural hybridity, understood here as a utopian metaphor for integration worked out in dialogue with myths of origins. If British–Algerian unions resemble other types of Maghribi–European families, such transnational families exemplify the current paradigm of cultural hybridity: fragmented affective codes, converging family gender roles, innovative tradition, neo-orientalist representations of ‘ chez nous ’, contradictory images of nationhood and, finally, the metaphoric language of a historicised self. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
