Abstract

I began this research project with the intention of briefly surveying all of the major literature of post-revolutionary Francophone North Africa and extracting the domestic political themes from each text. I soon realized that this was an extraordinarily difficult if not impossible task for several reasons: 1) The corpus of texts is extremely large and without adequate bibliography; 2) The corpus of texts is largely unavailable with many relevant texts out of print; 3) The political themes treated in these texts are not ordinarily accessible through brief survey because of their gothic, abstract, and deeply symbolic nature.
