Unfortunately, many of these works are not widely disseminated, marginalizing the influence of these alternative voices. This monograph examines the barriers to the broad dissemination of such works, with a focus on Arabic literature, and suggests ways to overcome these barriers.CensorshipArab countriesArabic literatureCensorshipBook industries and tradeArab countriesPublishers and publishingArab countriesBooks and readingArab countriesCensorshipArabic literatureCensorship.Book industries and tradePublishers and publishingBooks and reading363.310917/4927Schwartz Lowell910134National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219984003321Barriers to the broad dissemination of creative works in the Arab world2874369UNINA
