Arab Culture and the Novel

Genre, Identity and Agency in Egyptian Fiction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the complex relationship between the novel and identity in modern Arab culture against a backdrop of contemporary Egypt. It uses the example of the Egyptian novel to interrogate the root causes - religious, social, political, and psychological - of the lingering identity crisis that has afflicted Arab culture for at least two centuries.
