Ian Campbell investigates the ways in which Arabic science fiction engages with a theoretical concept he terms "double estrangement" wherein these texts provide social or political criticism through estrangement and simultaneously critique their own societies' inability or refusal to engage in the sort of modernization that would lead the Arab world back to leadership in science and technology.Studies in Global Science Fiction,2569-8834Literature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryMiddle Eastern literatureFictionContemporary LiteratureMiddle Eastern LiteratureFiction LiteratureLiterature, ModernLiterature, ModernMiddle Eastern literature.Fiction.Contemporary Literature.Middle Eastern Literature.Fiction Literature.741.5973Campbell Ianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut545195BOOK9910300025103321Arabic Science Fiction2240959UNINA01175nam 2200385 a 450 991106971040332120230801223808.01-78166-370-X(CKB)2670000000212452(StDuBDS)AH24393436(SSID)ssj0001500573(PQKBManifestationID)11810725(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001500573(PQKBWorkID)11515566(PQKB)11687418(MiAaPQ)EBC946568(EXLCZ)99267000000021245220120615d2012 || |engur|||||||||||txtccrAnglo-Saxon Britain /Allen, GrantAndrews UK20121 online resource (167 p.)
