«Le temps où nous n'existions pas» is Barbara Kingsolver's collection of short stories, published by Rivages poche in paperback (78 pages, in French).
The stories explore the identity and memory of Native American peoples. The title alludes to the years of the Cherokee clan's exodus, a period they called 'the time we did not exist', and reflects loss and cultural resistance. The quote comes from 'Homeland', by Kingsolver herself.
Translated from English into French by Guillemette Belleteste. The edition is part of the Rivages poche / Bibliothèque étrangère collection.
For readers interested in Barbara Kingsolver's fiction and in the history and culture of Native American peoples.
