Najat El Hachmi


Born
in Morocco
June 02, 1979


At the age of 8, Najat El Hachmi immigrated with her family to Catalonia, Spain. She studied Arab literature at the University of Barcelona. She began writing when she was twelve years old and has continued ever since, first as entertainment, and later as a means to express concerns or to reflect and re-create her own reality, in the (at least) two cultures to which she belongs.
Her first book, Jo també sóc catalana (I am also Catalan, 2004), was strictly autobiographical, dealing with the issue of identity, and the growth of her sense of belonging to her new country.
In 2008, she won one of the most prestigious award in Catalan letters, the Ramon Llull prize, for her novel L'últim patriarca (The Last Patriarch).

“El lunes encajaremos con todos los moldes que nos proponen. Los haremos compatibles aunque parezcan contradictorios. Así como nosotras: flexibles y adaptables. Dejaremos de pelear, dejaremos de rebelarnos. Seremos como hay que ser, como Dios manda o como mandan el cine y la televisión, las canciones de amor y las revistas de moda, los libros feministas y los manuales de autoayuda. Y así...así nos querrán. ¿Cuántos años pasamos con el redoble de ese régimen marcial repicando en nuestras cabezas? ¿Cómo empezaron nuestros anhelos de perfección, la sumisión expresa a todos los dictados? No sé como funcionabas tu entonces, pero no había más que ver tu incesante actividad para saber que también vivías a toque de silbato, el silbato de "tengo que hacer más, tengo que ser más”
Najat El Hachmi, El lunes nos querrán

“¿y si no existá la libertad y no habíamos hecho otra cosa que escapar de un mundo opresivo para llegar a otro con nuevas formas de dominación?”
Najat El Hachmi, El lunes nos querrán

“Porque seseábamos ser nosotras mismas pero también que nos quisieran. Y a ciertas edades y en ciertas circunstancias a lo mejor no hay más opción que la de ser una misma de un modo controlado, metida en moldes que nos contengan.”
Najat El Hachmi, El lunes nos querrán
