"Mame-Fatou Niangs Identits franaises: Banlieues, fminits et universalisme takes a fresh look at some very well-trod ground: discourses in and about the French banlieues and the place of women in these regions. While previous studies have addressed issues including gender stereotyping and family politics, Niangs study takes an innovative approach in bringing together novels, films, print media, and online discussions in her interrogation of the many ways women shape--and talk about--their lives in Frances banlieues from the 1980s through today."- Kathryn Kleppinger (The George Washington University), H-France Review Vol. 20 (December 2020), No. 221."La recherche de Mame-Fatou Niang entend justement questionner la place dans le rcit national de ces textes absents du circuit acadmique en France (p. 25). En les pens[ant] dans le canon littraire national (p. 25) au lieu de les en exclure un double titre, on se donnerait les moyens, grce la comprhension de ce qui retient ces crits aux marges du champ littraire national , dinterroger la dfinition franaise de luniversalisme (p. 25).- Catherine Mazauric, tudes littraires africaines, (56), 208210. https://doi.org/10.7202/1109989a
