The writer Gabriel Audisio once called the Mediterranean a "liquid continent." Taking up the challenge issued by Audisio's phrase, Edwige Tamalet Talbayev insists that we understand the region on both sides of the Mediterranean through a "transcontinental" heuristic. Rather than merely read the Maghreb in the context of its European colonizers from across the Mediterranean, Talbayev compellingly argues for a transmaritime deployment of the Maghreb across the multiple Mediterranean sites to which it has been materially and culturally bound for millennia.The Transcontinental Maghreb reveals these Mediterranean imaginaries to intersect with Maghrebi claims to an inclusive, democratic national ideal yet to be realized. Through a sustained reflection on allegory and critical melancholia, the book shows how the Mediterranean decenters postcolonial nation-building projects and mediates the nomadic subject's reinsertion into a national collective respectful of heterogeneity. In engaging the space of the sea, the hybridity it produces, and the way it has shaped such historical dynamics as globalization, imperialism, decolonization, and nationalism, the book rethinks the very nature of postcolonial histories and identities along its shores.

All unattributed translations from French, Spanish, and Arabic are mine. I used published Englishlanguage translations whenever they were available and listed them in the bibliography. I have followed a simpliﬁed version of theInternational Journal of Middle East Studiessystem for the transliteration of Arabic. The only diacritics used are ʽayn and hamza (the latter is dropped in initial position), respectively marked with an open and closed apostrophe. I have used French trans literations of Maghrebi proper names whenever they have become conventional in English (e.g., Mohammed Dib, Abdelkébir Khatibi, Nabile Farès). For book titles in Arabic, I have followed English capi talization rules.
