Rethinking Reading, Writing, and a Moral Code in Contemporary France - Postcolonializing High Culture in the Schools of the Republic

Rethinking Reading, Writing, and a Moral Code astutely follows the experience of learning how to read and write in French elementary and secondary schools as remembered by postcolonial authors from the 1980s and 1990s in their autobiographical novels and texts. By exploring the process of learning the language and the cultural code its literature carries, this critical text goes to the root of integration and opens new directions for observing the impact of immigration literature on contemporary postcolonial culture in France.
