The article aims to deconstruct the Orientalist preconceptions underlying Christian’s vision of Islam and relations with Muslims.

In the poem Heritage Countee Cullen asks: “What is Africa to me?”. The question was also formulated by African-American intellectuals, social activists, and artists, in particular those associated with the Harlem Renaissance, becoming an important metaphor in formulating racial and artistic identity. The article traces this quest in selected literary works which echo the Dark Continent and supplements the discussion with examples of visual arts from this period inspired by Africa.

Reluctant to French norms and conventions, de Lens sees Tunisia as an ideal, fascinating land where she may finally be happy. This fascination is reflected in her descriptions of spaces which are to be analysed through the prism of geocriticism in three movements: Tunisia as a land of light and colours, Tunisian symbolic spaces – desert and oasis, and stereotypical Oriental spaces – palace, harem and hammam.
