Drawing on Marxist-feminist literary theory, it closely analyses selected texts (published between 1953 and 2000), which reflect the effects of patriarchal culture and tradition on race, class, and gender relations in Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf region in general. It argues that the selected texts portray the pre-oil generations of Kuwaiti/Arabian Gulf women—born before or in the first half of the twentieth century—as resistant and/or revolutionary figures, contrary to the common notion of their stereotypical passivity and submissiveness. This book demonstrates how Kuwaiti women writers have used literature to work for, and contribute to, social change.Women and gender, the Middle East and the Islamic world ;v. 8.Arabic fictionKuwaitHistory and criticismArabic fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismArabic fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismWomen in literatureRace in literatureSocial classes in literatureSex role in literaturePatriarchy in literatureElectronic books.Arabic fictionHistory and criticism.Arabic fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Arabic fictionHistory and criticism.Women in literature.Race in literature.Social classes in literature.Sex role in literature.Patriarchy in literature.892.7/36099287095367Tijani Ishaq999475MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459655603321Male domination, female revolt2293794UNINA
