Table of ContentsAcknowledgements A Note on Translation Introduction Chapter One: Troubling Memories of Colonialism Chapter Two: Decolonizing the Classroom Chapter Three: Education and Violence in the Black Decade Chapter Four: Resistance in a Minority Language Chapter Five: Satirizing Education in Crisis Conclusion Notes Works CitedReviews'By exploring the representation of the postcolonial classroom in a selection of Moroccan and Algerian novels, Twohig adds a significant contribution to the understanding of North African education, pedagogy, and language policies through literature. [...] Twohig’s rich and brilliant study convincingly demonstrates the centrality of literature to educational debates in Morocco and Algeria. [...] Contesting the Classroom offers a distinctive and ground-breaking analysis of the many ways in which education is thought, challenged, and reimagined in Moroccan and Algerian literatures. The book is undeniably a valuable resource for scholars of North African Studies, Arabic and Francophone literature, educational sciences as well as language policies in the Maghreb and beyond. By weaving together close readings of novels and textbooks, political and historical contextualization, and broader reflections on the social and cultural implications of the literary portraits of education, Twohig meticulously dissects and reinterprets the complexity of Moroccan and Algerian educational literature.'Khalid Lyamlahy, Bulletin of Francophone Postcolonial Studies ‘[A]n ambitious, well-written, interdisciplinary work... highly recommended to anyone interested in Maghrebi literature and the challenges of post-colonial education.’ Laurie A.
