- Title
Walls, Borders, and Fences in Hispano-Saharawi Creative Expression.
- Abstract
This essay borrows from the cultural and narrative perspectives of border studies to explore how contemporary Saharawi writers contest Morocco's occupation of the Western Sahara and the physical representation of that occupation, the Moroccan 'Wall of Shame.' It also examines the invisible barriers that are emerging from the narratives of sovereignty of the besieged community. In this regard, it focuses primarily on the work of the following members of the Generación de la amistad, a group of Saharawi writers who reaffirm the borderline between the occupier and the occupied land through the use of Spanish as their language of communication, creation, and activism: Mohamed Salem (Ebnu) Abdelfatah, Bahia Mahmud Awah, Limam Boisha, Lehdia Dafa, Zahra Hasnaui, Ali Salem Iselmu, and Abdalahi Saleh.
