Between God and the President: Literature and Censorship in North Africa

In the West, censorship has been understood for the most part as the state's control over cultural production. Many critics in the postwar period, however, have argued that other forms of censorship, such as market censorship, are comparable to the actions of the state. The Christian right's attacks on art in the United States in the 1980s and early 1990s together with Congressional moves to disempower and dismantle the NEA have generated a new set of debates about censorship in this country. It was understood that the extreme right sought to repress cultural productions carrying a message of ethnic and sexual difference, targeting the works by rappers, the photographer Mapplethorpe, Madonna's music videos, and so on. The right provided rhetoric to support the privatization of public space, the control of language and public images, and the promotion of "safe" art.
