Ex-Centric Migrations is crucial reading for scholars and students
of contemporary Maghrebi, French, and Spanish literatures and
cultures. It breaks new ground by encompassing the literature,
film, and music of "return migration" and examining the
trajectories of Maghrebi migration outside France.

Ex-Centric Migrations plunges the reader into a tour de force
across radically divergent artistic responses to Mediterranean
migration. Indeed, the book offers the additional benefit of
critically engaging the burgeoning transdisciplinarity of
Mediterranean Studies . . . In its fresh, long view of
Mediterranean cinema, literature, and music, the book conveys, much
like the primary sources it examines, a sustained reflection on
alternative, ex-centric migrations.
