After being known only to western academics and a small coterie of admirers, this dynamic and surging literature is now bursting onto the world stage. Enter the hearts and minds of today's Arab authors through their books, plays and poetry. As peoples' desires were finally being heard in the "Arab Spring," so we will explore the tumultuous lives and works of the brave men and women who, over the last few decades, became the voice and conscience of the Arab world.
Focusing on the meaning that underlies their writings, the course is based on literature from all over the Arab-speaking world. We will emphasize items easily available in English and found in our public library systems and bookstores. Expand your literary world with this cross-cultural experience. Maps and optional reading lists supplied.
