Description:Far from offering another study that bemoans Arab women s repression and veiling, "Anxiety of Erasure" looks at Arab women writers living in the diaspora who have translated their experiences into a productive and creative force. In this book, Al-Samman articulates the therapeutic effects of revisiting forgotten histories and of activating two cultural tropes: that of the maw udah (buried female infant) and that of Shahrazad in the process of revolutionary change. She asks what it means to develop a national, gendered consciousness from diasporic locals while staying committed to the homeland.Al-Samman presents close readings of the fiction of six prominent authors whose works span over half a century and define the current status of Arab diaspora studies Ghada al-Samman, Hanan al-Shaykh, Hamida al-Na na, Hoda Barakat, Samar Yazbek, and Salwa al-Neimi. Exploring the journeys in time and space undertaken by these women, Anxiety of Erasure shines a light on the ways in which writers remain participants in their homelands intellectual lives, asserting both the traumatic and the triumphant aspects of diaspora. The result is a nuanced Arab women s poetic that celebrates rootlessness and rootedness, autonomy and belonging."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
