Contemporary Arab Women’s Life Writing and the Politics of Resistance
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-8968-3 (ISBN)
Drawing on autobiographical and postcolonial theories, Hiyem Cheurfa examines twenty-first-century Arab women’s life writing as sites for the articulation of resistance to power structures and sociocultural and representational norms. Looking comparatively at subgenres of memoir, auto-portrait, testimony, diary, and digital life writing across different linguistic (Arabophone, Anglophone, and Francophone) and national contexts (Egypt, Algeria, Syria, Palestine, Tunisia), this book explores why resistance is important when writing about the self for Arab women.
Hiyem Cheurfa is an assistant professor of postcolonial literature and comparative studies in the Department of English at Larbi Tebessi University, Algeria. She received her PhD in English from Lancaster University, UK.
