This book attempts to investigate the notion of re-Orientalism in the Moroccan immigrants' literary writings. For this objective to be acheived, the book lays a convenient theoretical background to approach these literary manifestations as discourses rooted in energizing sets of epistemes that affect the diasporic experience of the diasporic writers beyond home. It argues that this search for a homeland is a politically motivated process influenced by the dominant forces in the host cultures which disseminate designations for 'outsiders' founded on their biographical referentialities. This politics of exclusion pushes various writers to throw behind their nationalistic nostalgias for home and zealously inscribe in the pre-existing essentialist preconditions prevailing in the host cultures for the sake of becoming accepted in the Western literary canons. These diasporic discursive articulations stand as reactions to the rhetorics of blame woven by political structures in the West as is the case in Dutch multiculturalism.
