Arab Culture and the Novel: Genre, Identity and Agency in Egyptian Fiction - Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures
Siddiq, Muhammad (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
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.
