Yet, its study remains fragmented along linguistic divisions, selective and woefully underrepresented in the anglophone world. \u003ci\u003eTunisian Literatures\u003c\/i\u003e aims to redress this imbalance and fill this gap not by moving away from canonical figures and case studies but by being inclusive, open and dynamic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 13 chapters of this volume explore the multiple facets of Tunisian literature in the modern period, from the anti-colonial movement of the first half of the 20th century to the present, embracing its plurilinguality, its literary historical genealogies and testimonial functions during times of profound political and social change. The chapters cover poetry, fiction and drama written in Arabic, French and variations of the local dialect (\u003ci\u003edarija\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors approach Tunisian literatures from various angles: introducing concepts and formative authors and trends, and considering Tunisian literature in light of foundational historical and political events, such as the country´s independence in 1956 and the Uprisings of 2010-11, referred to in Tunisia as the Revolution (\u003ci\u003ethawra\u003c\/i\u003e). Together, these perspectives set the ground for a discussion of Tunisian literary voices within their significant geographies, locally and globally. They also pay special attention to points of intersection and confluence within this multilingual literary corpus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHanan Natour\u003c\/b\u003e is Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London, UK, and author of \u003ci\u003eNarratives of Liberation, Emancipation, and Decoloniality in Tunisian Arabic Fiction (1987-2017)\u003c\/i\u003e (forthcoming).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMohamed-Salah Omri \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature at University of Oxford, UK, where he is Fellow of St. John´s College.
