INFIDEL FROM AYAAN HIRSI ALI: CARTOGRAPHIES OF YOURSELF IN BLACK CONTEMPORARY WRITING
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigated the trajectory of the Somali woman Ayaan Hirsi Ali from her autobiography, Infidel, the story of a woman who challenged the Islam (2007), in which constituted herself in different spaces where she was, from Africa, Asia, Europe to North America. During the period of its launch, Infidel achieved sales success in the publishing market of several countries, having as fundamental mark the fragmented contemporary subjectivity of an immigrant who, to renounce Islam, undertook a fight for freedom of expression as a woman, which made she earn the death sentence by fundamentalist Muslims. To promote reflection we count on the theoretical references of Joseph Ki-Zerbo (2010); Amadou Bâ Hampâté (2003; 2010); Leonor Arfuch (2010; 2013); Stuart Hall (1996; 2000); Edward Said (1990; 2003; 2005) and others.
