Bøger af Ammiel Alcalay

This first anthology of twentieth-century Israeli literature to feature the work of writers who were born in--or whose families originated from--the Levant, Turkey, Iran, India, and Arab worlds represents twenty-four authors whose concerns with cultural identity, race, class, gender, and political allegiances place their work alongside today's emerging rediscovered and reinvented Arab, African, Indian, African-American, and Caribbean traditions.

This text features essays from Ammiel Alcalay covering Mediterranean culture, Arabic literature, the war in Bosnia, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the destruction of Carthage, and much more.

A linkage of Jewish and Arab thought and a revisionist reading of Levantine culture at odds with conventional Western views - which nonetheless takes full account of traditional erudition and research, whether literary critical, historical or linguistic.
