Abstract

ABSTRACT This article compares two literary enterprises preoccupied with the fate of bilingualism under budding national independence: Souffles-Anfas (Morocco, 1966–1971) and Eked Poetry Quarterly (Israel, 1960–1971). The second has received surprisingly little academic attention, whereas the first has gotten plenty of such attention, often referring to it as a fully bilingual project—an approach the author contests. The two journals were each part of a greater political and cultural endeavor that challenged the national-linguistic discourse in Morocco and Israel, either by rebelling against the Arabizing Moroccan monarchy or by refusing to adhere to the Zionist Hebrew exclusivity.
