%X I argue that the success of Niketche owes more to the limits its internal exotic charge draws to provocation than to its provocative taboo-lifting undertone. Chiziane¡¯s attempt to question received patriarchal representations of ethnic and gender difference ends up re-affirming patriarchal power by representing what I call an ¡®internal exotic¡¯.
