Reviews
It is difficult to overstate the importance of Abdelkebir Khatibi, not just for the postcolonial or francophone world but for literary and cultural studies in general. This volume will be a significant contribution to scholarship on the multifaceted and complex work of this original literary and cultural voice. Nasrin Qader, Northwestern University 'Jane Hiddleston and Khalid Lyamlahy's hard-hitting collection of essays on Abdelkebir Khatibi represents the first major English-language publication devoted to the Moroccan thinker and his work.[...] In this sense, there can be no greater homage to, or recognition of, Khatibian destabilisation and instigation than the editors' thoughtful interfolding of elements of surprise into the collection's structure. [...] This book is positioned to be of immense interest to students and scholars of postcolonialism who are invested in the complex intersections of politics, literature, language, and identity, both within and beyond the francosphere. One of the book's most precious contributions to (francophone) postcolonialism is how it points to fecund crossovers with adjacent fields of scholarship, and gestures toward potentially trailblazing interventions.' Yasser Elhariry, Bulletin of Francophone Postcolonial Studies 'There is also a useful overview of Khatibi scholarship, which in turn offers readers a chance to consider new avenues for research and enquiry. Particularly impressive is the way that this volume brings together many Khatibi scholars. [...] Hiddleston and Lyamlahy have done a laudable job of making the book accessible to a wide audience; whether one has just discovered Khatibi's writings or spent a lifetime studying him, there is something in this collection for everyone.' Shannon K. Winston, French Studies 'Abdelkebir Khatibi is quite properly characterized by the editors of this impressive collaboration as among the most important theorists of postcolonialism and contemporary Islamic culture. [...There are] fourteen individually fascinating and cumulatively compelling essays offered here, and which are valuably complemented by translations of substantial extracts from two of Khatibi's major texts. [...] This absorbing introduction to his life and work deserves to be widely read and discussed.' Philip Dine, International Journal of French Studies

Philip Dine, International Journal of French Studies '[Abdelkébir Khatibi: Postcolonialism, Transnationalism and Culture in the Maghreb and Beyond] stands as the most comprehensive account of Khatibi available in English to date. It presents insightful and authoritative readings on his relation to critical theory, poststructuralism, and postcolonial theory while integrating crucial but neglected aspects of his writing, notably his work in sociology, popular culture, and visual arts.'
