Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the liberating yet disruptive nature of educating women in an imperialistic society, using Assia Djebar's "Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade" which talks about the education of women in colonized Algeria.From the Paper:
"This image of the hand that is being led into an education links and contrasts with "the severed hand of an anonymous Algerian woman" (226) that was found by the French tourist-painter Fromentin in the wake of "a terrible siege" (by the French colonial forces) at an oasis on the edge of the desert in Algeria, reported in the final chapter of Fantasia. With this imagery, a woman's education is portrayed as being a battle in the war that is the sometimes death-defying struggle for women's rights."More papers on "Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade":
