Women of Algiers in Their Apartment by Assia Djebar

Women of Algiers in Their Apartment by Assia Djebar

Translated for the first time in English, this collection of short fiction details the plight of urban Algerian women and raises far-reaching issues. The stories criticise the post-colonial socialist regime, which is seen as denying and subjugating women whilst celebrating the liberation of men.

Renowned writer and filmmaker Assia Djebar was born and raised in Algeria. She authored several novels, including the critically lauded So Vast the Prison and Algerian White. She has won several awards for her work, including the prestigious International Neustadt Prize for Literature.

Marjolijn de Jager, PhD, is the translator of Djebar's Algerian White and Women of Algiers in Their Apartment, which was honored by the American Literary Translators Association. She teaches at the Center for Foreign Languages and Translation at New York University.
