LITR 030A. Literature of Resistance
This course explores Arabic texts that take a stand against contemporary political, social, or economic realities. Fiction and non-fiction accounts as well as poetry will be investigated alongside experimental contemporary genres and blogs to uncover the different ways in which Arabs are attempting to rewrite the world around them. The theme of resistance-against colonialism, state oppression, social codes, and literary norms-will shape our discussions. New narratives inspired by the Arab uprisings will receive special focus. This course is taught in English.
Eligible for ISLM or PEAC credit.
