    La couverture ne fait pas le livre : Auteurs du Moyen-Orient et d’Asie du Sud

    written by Amy Southgate

    Après une interruption de deux ans, l’exposition “La couverture ne fait pas le livre” de la bibliothèque de l’Université de l’Alberta revient du 14 au 27 novembre 2022 !

    “La couverture ne fait pas le livre” est un événement annuel organisé par la bibliothèque qui vise à mettre en avant les groupes sous-représentés. Afin de réveiller votre curiosité et de changer les présentoirs de livres réguliers, les livres sont emballés dans du papier brun et des mots-clés sont écrits sur le recto. Cet emballage symbolise la marginalisation du groupe et met l’accent sur le contenu de l’histoire.

    Cette année, nous présentons des livres d’auteurs des pays du Moyen-Orient et d’Asie du Sud, ainsi que leurs diasporas, en exposant plus de 300 livres dans 6 bibliothèques !

    Passez dans l’une de nos bibliothèqes participantes : Rutherford, Cameron, Scott, Weir, Bibliothèque Saint-Jean et Augustana ; du 14 au 27 novembre 2022 et trouvez quelque chose de nouveau à lire.
