Sarah Mosher is an Assistant Professor of French at the University of North Dakota. Her research focuses on human rights violations and crimes against humanity as they are represented in female-authored (auto)biographical texts and films of several well-know French-speaking women of the twentieth and twenty-first century. In doing so, her research challenges the legitimacy of traditional literary and cinematographic canons. Recent publications have focused on the (auto)biographical works of Condé and Djebar. Her current book project examines postcolonial immigration and human rights violations as represented in Yamina Benguigui’s cinema. [End Page 114]
