Abstract:
Re-conceptualizing the idea of a "Moroccan" literature with regard to the transnational and plurilingual experiences from which it arises, this study advances a comparative outlook grounded in linguistic difference. Laila Lalami's narrative not only reflects the current situation of the majority of Moroccans today, but also captures the experience of a fast growing number of individuals in migrant communities worldwide.
