Moroccan novelist Laila Lalami has been promoted to emeritus professor at the University of California at Riverside, where she teaches creative writing.

Novelist Laïla Lalami is on a roll. With her novel, "The Other Americans", a masterpiece in English literature, she is the finalist for the prestigious "National Book Award" 2019, which took place in the United States.

Laila Lalami is one of those Moroccan prides whose pen does not stutter when it comes to touching on difficult subjects. Her latest novel once again raises the recurring problem of migration that spares no continent on the planet. But it also opposes the xenophobia suffered by foreigners in American society and, above all, the radical immigration policy of US President Donald, which had provoked strong reactions within the international community.
