In particular, the Palestinian short story stands out for its unique interplay between literary texts and the political and historical contexts from which they emerge. Palestinian Literature in Exile is the first English language study to explore this unique genre. Joseph Farag employs an interdisciplinary approach to examine the political function of literary texts and the manner in which cultural production responds to crucial moments in Palestinian history. Drawing from the works of Samira Azzam, Ghassan Kanafani and Ibrahim Nasrallah, Farag traces developments in the short story as they relate to the pivotal events of what the Palestinians call the Nakba ('catastrophe'), Naksa ('defeat') and First Intifada ('uprising'). In analysing several as yet un-translated works, Farag makes an original contribution to the subject of exilic identity and subjectivity in Palestinian literature. This book offers the opportunity to engage with literary works as well to learn from a literary account of history.It is a subject of interest for students and scholars of both Arabic literature and Middle East studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing.SOAS Palestine studies.Arabic literaturePalestineHistory and criticismArabic literaturePalestinePolitical aspectsExiles in literatureIdentity politics in literatureLiterary studies: from c 1900 -Electronic books.Arabic literatureHistory and criticism.Arabic literaturePolitical aspects.Exiles in literature.Identity politics in literature.892.73010895694Farag Joseph R.1066607UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511652203321Politics and Palestinian literature in exile2549596UNINA
