Description: A unique look at how 'the nation' is represented in the literature of the Middle East, this book provides a compelling study of the construction of the nation in literary production from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Synopsis: This compelling study presents an original look at how 'the nation' is represented in the literature of the Middle East. It includes chapters on Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine and Israel, drawing on the expertise of literary scholars, historians, political scientists and cultural theorists. The book offers a synthesising contribution to knowledge, placing Arab literature within the context of emergent or conflicting nationalist projects in the area. Topics addressed include: *the roles of literature and interpretation in defining national identity *exile *conflicting nationalisms *conflict resolution The approaches taken by the authors range from textual and rhetorical analysis to historical accounts of the role of literature in contributing to national identity, and political analysis of the use of literature as a tool in conflict resolution. Genres covered include fiction (the novel), poetry and verbal duelling. This unique exploration of the subject of literature and the nation in the Arab world will be of interest to anyone studying Middle Eastern literature and nationalism, as well as historians and political scientists.Key Features *Includes chapters from a broad range of American, European and Middle Eastern contributors, providing a synthesising perspective on the Middle East *A unique exploration of the connection between literature and national identity in the Middle East, set against the background of conflict *Covers the subject of literature and nation in Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Palestine and Israel
