However, French literature has never been consistently examined through the lens of race, ethnicity, and its relation to (post)coloniality. \u003cem\u003eFictions of Race in Contemporary French Literature\u003c\/em\u003e is the first scholarly study to engage with the figure of the White writer and explore the White literary gaze in contemporary France. The book highlights the inherent postcoloniality of White Hexagonal literature in a context marked by institutionalized colour-blindness, and offers a reflection on responsible writing in and about postcolonial France. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book identifies a set of formal features, functions, and aesthetic dispositions which reveal the ways in which White writers grapple with postcolonial subjects. It focuses on seven case studies featuring texts by Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes, Annie Ernaux, Nicolas Fargues, Pierre Lemaitre, Édouard Louis, and Nicolas Mathieu. Achille and Panaïté argue that it is imperative to recast the enduring boundedness of race and empire as a matter of equal concern to White and non-White writers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eÉtienne Achille, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Villanova University\u003c\/em\u003e, Oana Panaïté, \u003cem\u003eRuth N.
