TMR Issue Nº40 • PARIS

$3.99

TMR Issue 40 – 15 articles –  155 pages

Every now and then, in an effort to explore our diaspora communities, The Markaz Review looks at cities that are home to large populations of residents from the Middle East and North Africa, including thus far Berlin, Marseille and Los Angeles. TMR 40 • PARIS features a number of personal essays, reviews and short fiction, including excerpts from two new books, and an artist interview. While one can wax nostalgic about the many seductions of Paris, the tension that exists between French authorities and Arab and African communities is something that may never subside, as there are endless examples of individual and institutional racism, and yet Paris continues to welcome multitudes.
