Abstract

Francophone Algerian Writer Assia Djebar?s collection of short stories ?Femmes d?Algers dans leur Appartement?, published in 1980 marks her return to literary scene after a hiatus of almost ten years. This collection is considered to be representative of the maturation of her literary themes and style that explore issues related to the postcolonial Algerian/Arab women and of Djebar?s comes to terms with her own hybrid identity. With stories set in various moments in Algeria?s history, ranging from the pre-independence period to over a decade after independence, they offer a panorama of Algerian women dealing with patriarchy, society, nation and history. This article attempts to show how ?Femmes d?Algers dans leur appartement? paints a multi-dimensional portrait of the postcolonial Algerian woman, at a particular moment in history, on the verge of breaking out of her silence.
