Abstract:

 Throughout these papers, i intend to expose that it is our aim to provide a sense of the diversity in the cultural givens of what is known today to literary scholars as the Maghreb (adj., Maghrebian) and, to historians as the Maghrib (adj., Maghribi), an area including Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. "Maghreb," which also serves as the Arabic word for Morocco, comes from the word Maghrib (root gharb, west), meaning the place where the sun sets, or the western region; as distinguished from the Mashreq, or Eastern part of the Arab world. The so-called Greater Maghrebincludes Mauritania and Libya, but the linguistic bonding through French has tended to cause people to group the first three countries, despite great differences in their internal political and social structures.
