This course looks at the proliferation of the Arabic fiction during the postcolonial era. We will use Edward Saids statement that narratives become the method colonized people use to assert their own identity and the existence of their own history as a point of departure for illustrating how the discourses and ideologies of colonialism influenced the form and content of the modern Arabic fiction. The course will focus on themes of struggle, resistance, nationalism, migration, and gender equality. Along with exploring the evolving debates and histories of postcolonial literature, we will consider the relevance of postcolonial theory today, addressing Terry Eagletons question: What kind of fresh thinking does the new era demand?. Taught in English.
