Quoting from the author's bio at the website of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas: "His research and teaching are interdisciplinary and comparative. They include, but are not limited to,
Renaissance Tragedy, Post-colonial Literature and Theory, Race and Colonialism, Third-World Feminism, Humanism, Opera, Orality, Africa, Francophone Literature, and often break down the
boundaries between fields of study." In this study Marrouchi intertwines personal experiences and recollections with insights from his far-reaching research interests. His first five chapters
discuss various literary, cultural, and political aspects of "the West and the Rest." Following are three chapters on "Insolently Transnational Best"--more specifically, couscous, Zidane Inc.,
and Darwish & Co. The epilogue is titled "La Fouance, Mon Amour." Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
