Opis

Within a well-defined trans-cultural perspective and in the context of contemporary literary theory this book dismantles narratives of marginalization and hegemony rooted in Arabic and American literature in order to centralize the victimized and the subalterns and erect their own cultural mythology. Navigating a spectrum of terrifying and untold narratives of hegemony and domination the book aims to reconstruct a culture devastated by despotism, violence and anarchy. Totally, the book aims to rewrite the story of oppression from the viewpoint of the oppressed aesthetically articulating the turbulent experience and panorama of pessimism underpinning modern history.
