Transforming Family: Queer Kinship and Migration in Contemporary Francophone Literature

the 37 years covered in her study. In the new afterword to this 2022 edition, she comments briefly on the role of the contemporary army in the current political challenge posed by the hirak. She expects that the institution whose construction she has so admirably chronicled will play an important role in the management of this protest movement, while undergoing further transformations of its own. The book contains several appendices in addition to the ‘répertoire biographique’mentioned above. These include impressive sections on methodology (297– 308) and sources (309–321), as well as a mammoth bibliography, maps and photos. So much for impossible tasks.
