An alternate understanding of familial aspiration is one cultivated across national borders and cultures and beyond the constraints of diasporas. This alternate understanding, which imagines a category of trans- families, relies on decolonial and queer intellectual thought to mobilize or transform power across borders.</p><p>In <em>Transforming Family</em> Jocelyn Frelier examines a selection of novels penned by francophone authors in France, Morocco, and Algeria, including Azouz Begag, Nina Bouraoui, Fouad Laroui, Lela Sebbar, Lela Slimani, and Abdellah Taa. Each novel contributes a unique argument about this alternate understanding of family, questioning how family relates to race, gender, class, embodiment, and intersectionality. Arguing that trans- families are <em>always already</em> queer, Frelier opens up new spaces of agency for both family units and individuals who seek representation and fulfilling futures.</p><p>The novels analyzed in <em>Transforming Family</em>, as well as the families they depict, resist classification and delink the legacies of colonialism from contemporary modes of being. As a result, these novels create trans- identities for their protagonists and contribute to a scholarly understanding of the becoming trans- of cultural production. As international political debates related to migration, the family unit, and the global migrant crisis surge, Frelier destabilizes governmental criteria for the regrouping of families by turning to a set of definitions found in the cultural production of members of the francophone, North African diaspora.</p>...914276Transforming Family8361161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/transforming-family/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/576885/57675e36-a7d1-42a5-9042-43305d816493.jpg?v=638335367269270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229781496233646_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9781496233646_<p>One of the lasting legacies of colonialism is the assumption that families should conform to a kinship arrangement built on normative, nuclear, individuality-based models.
