Collective : literature and politics since 2007. 520 $a "Branding the 'Beur' Author focuses on the mainstream media promotion of literature written by the descendants of North African immigrants to France (often called beurs). These conversations between journalists and 'beur authors' delve into contemporary debates such as the explosion of racism in the 1980s and the purported role of Islam in French society in the 1990s. But the interests of journalists looking for sensational subject matter also heavily shape the promotion and reception of these novels: only the 'beur authors' who employ a realist style to write about the challenges faced by the North African immigrant population in France--and who engage on-air with French identity politics and immigration--receive multiple invitations to participate in interviews. Previous scholarship has taken a necessary first step by analysing the social and political stakes of this literature (using labels such as beur and/or banlieue to designate its urban, economically distressed setting), but this book argues that we must move beyond this approach because it reproduces the selection criteria deployed by the media to determine which books receive the most commercial and critical support. By demonstrating how minority-based literary labels such as 'francophone' and 'postcolonial' are always already defined by the sociopolitical context in which books are published and promoted, Branding the 'Beur' Author establishes that these labels are tautological and cannot reflect the thematic and stylistic richness of beur (and other minority) production in France."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a African fiction (French) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103563 650 0 $a French fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104109 650 0 $a French literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Mass media and minorities $z France. 650 0 $a Mass media and literature $z France. 650 0 $a French literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85051865 830 0 $a Contemporary French and francophone cultures ; $v 36. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2005049199 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103022820.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FADD5BCF05411E7964A246697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
