Faculty note: Ortiz, Coury publication

Prof. Cristina Ortiz, Humanistic Studies (Spanish) and Global Studies and Prof. David Coury, Humanistic Studies (German) and Global Studies co-authored a chapter in the new volume African Immigrants in Contemporary Spanish Texts: Crossing the Straits. Their article, “Unveiling Spain: Representations of the Female Body as a Metaphor for Contesting Orientalist Ideology,” looks at the works of two Moroccan writers who explore the experiences of Muslim women in Spain and northern Africa and how they negotiate their identity in those two distinct cultures.
