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. 410 0$aStudies in Global Science Fiction,$x2569-8834 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature 606 $aFiction 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aMiddle Eastern Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature. 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 676 $a741.5973 700 $aCampbell$b Ian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0545195 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300025103321 996 $aArabic Science Fiction$92240959 997 $aUNINA
