Dit is een boek van twee-eiige tweelingen. Zeven auteurs zijn bekend in literair Vlaanderen, zeven andere mogen dat ook zijn, als landgenoten met wortels in Irak, Syrië, Palestina of Soedan, die bovendien voor hun komst publiceerden in hun geboorteland. Naar aanleiding van hun verhalen en gedichten schreven de Vlaamse auteurs op verzoek van PEN Vlaanderen vrijelijk hun eigen proza en poëzie. Het resultaat is dit boek vol verrassingen. Wat ligt er aan de andere oever van het verlangen? Een vreemd land vol knotsgekke taferelen! Een land waar een papegaai de nieuwe leider wordt. Een land van giftige wafels en bloeddorstige makelaars. Een land waar je bestraft kunt worden met een besmeurde profielfoto. Hier moeten dieren met een boerka hun schaamte bedekken. Hier wonen waanzinnige kolonels op pensioen en vergeetachtige weduwen in rusthuizen. Hier woont een man die zich afvraagt waarom we woorden van dood gebruiken als we liefhebben. Een man die bang is dat de stad hem als stof van haar lichaam bezemt. Een vrouw die bang is voor ogen die glanzen als ruwe olie. En toch beginnen ze te dansen! Je vindt het allemaal aan de andere oever van het verlangen.

Ahmad Suba'i's autobiography is the story not only of an Arab boy growing up in Saudi Arabia at the turn of the twentieth century--to become a noted writer, educator, and social critic--but also of a place, Mecca, and of the world of the traditional quranic school of the time. Contextualizing the work, the editors have provided information about Suba'i's life and work, an essay on traditional quranic education in twentieth-century Mecca, and a glossary of Arabic terms.

Arab Voices in Diaspora offers a wide-ranging overview and an insightful study of the field of anglophone Arab literature produced across the world. The first of its kind, it chronicles the development of this literature from its inception at the turn of the past century until the post 9/11 era. The book sheds light not only on the historical but also on the cultural and aesthetic value of this literary production, which has so far received little scholarly attention. It also seeks to place anglophone Arab literary works within the larger nomenclature of postcolonial, emerging, and ethnic literature, as it finds that the authors are haunted by the same ‘hybrid’, ‘exilic’, and ‘diasporic’ questions that have dogged their fellow postcolonialists. Issues of belonging, loyalty, and affinity are recognized and dealt with in the various essays, as are the various concerns involved in cultural and relational identification. The contributors to this volume come from different national backgrounds and share in examining the nuances of this emerging literature. Authors discussed include Elmaz Abinader, Diana Abu-Jaber, Leila Aboulela, Leila Ahmed, Rabih Alameddine, Edward Atiyah, Shaw Dallal, Ibrahim Fawal, Fadia Faqir, Khalil Gibran, Suheir Hammad, Loubna Haikal, Nada Awar Jarrar, Jad El Hage, Lawrence Joseph, Mohja Kahf, Jamal Mahjoub, Hisham Matar, Dunya Mikhail, Samia Serageldine, Naomi Shihab Nye, Ameen Rihani, Mona Simpson, Ahdaf Soueif, and Cecile Yazbak. Contributors: Victoria M. Abboud, Diya M. Abdo, Samaa Abdurraqib, Marta Cariello, Carol Fadda–Conrey, Cristina Garrigós, Lamia Hammad, Yasmeen Hanoosh, Waïl S. Hassan, Richard E. Hishmeh, Syrine Hout, Layla Al Maleh, Brinda J. Mehta, Dawn Mirapuri, Geoffrey P. Nash, Boulus Sarru, Fadia Fayez Suyoufie

Essays in Arabic Literacy Biography Vol. 3 (1850-1950) is the third and last in a series of works that select 40 authors from a particular time period in Arabic literary history and invite leading experts to contribute biographical essays on them. In the case of this final volume, the period involved is that between the purported earlier phases in the emergence of a movement of cultural revival in the 19th century and the Arabic-speaking world's achievement of independence in the wake of the conclusion of the Second World War. The essays, which discuss authors in a variety of literary genres and across the spectrum of the region concerned-from Iraq in the East to Tunisia in the West-provide clear evidence of the gradually changing roles of the indigenous and the imported which are an intrinsic feature of the movement known in Arabic as al-bahada (cultural revival) and the way in which Arab litterateurs chose to respond to the inspiration that such changes inevitably engendered. Each essay is complete in and of itself, listing the authors' complete works (and translations of them), and tracing the different phases of his or her life through an analysis of the principal works involved. The essays conclude with a selected bibliography of reference works. --Book Jacket.
