This paper aims at examining the manifestations of postcolonial Moroccan `Self`-representation(s). Central is the image that Moroccan writers evince about Moroccan identity and culture.

How does it imbricate with power relations, gender, colonial epistemic violence, postcolonial inferiority complex , and post-independence disillusionment?
