Across three sections, each of which delves into one film and one novel, this book examines how immigrant mothers, schoolgirls, and young adult women are narrated as people who reimagine national identity. Section One, \"Challenging the Inside\" analyzes \u003cem\u003eLe Petit Prince de Belleville\u003c\/em\u003e by Calixthe Beyala and \u003cem\u003eInch'Allah dimanche\u003c\/em\u003e by Yamina Benguigui, dissecting how immigrant mothers refuse to be contained physically or symbolically by either the French or their families. Section two looks at how schoolgirls juggle ideological conflict when they travel \"Outside\" to go to school, in \u003cem\u003eGeorgette !\u003c\/em\u003e by Farida Belghoul and \u003cem\u003eLe Petit chat est mort\u003c\/em\u003e by Fejria Deliba. Section three explores the identities of young adult women, as represented in \u003cem\u003eSouviens-toi de moi\u003c\/em\u003e by Zaïda Ghorab and \u003cem\u003eLe Fou de Shérazade\u003c\/em\u003e by Leïla Sebbar. These protagonists find belonging in their French and immigrant communities by playing a dangerous game of manipulating signs of identity and slipping across borders. Ultimately, these emergent creative voices stretch national boundaries and pave the way for more inclusive models of imagined community to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah B.
