• Resumen

  • Apuleius’ various self-representations as Numidian and Roman have been appraised differently across time and space. This article examines the reception of Apuleius and his humorous, iconoclastic Golden Ass in three Francophone Algerian writers–Assia Djebar, Kebir Ammi, and Chawki Amari–who use their affinities as Numidians and writers using the language of the colonizer to assert their own positions in emergent categories of global literature.
