Abstract

The article critiques the novel "Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade," by Algerian novelist Assia Djebar, originally published in the French language in 1985. Topics discussed include the way the novel acknowledged both nationalist and Orientalist representation of Algerian women and their engagement in the Algerian War of Independence, the depiction of the post-independence roles of women, and observations on the autobiographical reflections presented by Djebar.
