| Abstract
|
:
|
A critique of modern development may be traced in the postcolonial and anti-colonial literature about North Africa. Works by Fanon, Camus, Djebar, Mahfouz, El Saadawi, Said, and others, offer a window upon contemporary modernization and related issues of identity, independence, and social justice.
