Ha?d Bouazza is a highly in?uential and celebrated author in the Netherlands today. In the context of contemporary Dutch literature, Bouazza?s Moroccan background still marks a divergence from the born-and-bred Dutch norm. Authors with a bi- or multicultural background are still often cast in the role of ?exotic outsider?. Bouazza both challenges and uses this position to the full. His writing demonstrates that the perceived us-them or self-other positions are questionable ideological constructs. He undermines the concept of a uni?ed culture and the wholeness of the self. He explores and exploits stereotypical beliefs held on both sides of the East?West divide. The result is a magical realist setting that both puzzles and enchants. This book offers a reading of Bouazza?s literary prose that responds to the interpretative opportunities offered by an author who skilfully and creatively explores his peculiar freedom in his Homeless Entertainment.
Contents: Response to the emergence and rise of multicultural authors in the Netherlands ? Analyses of the specific position of ?outsider? authors focussing on concepts of (cultural) identity, home and homelessness ? Analyses of Bouazza?s main literary works.
