Book Description
Post-Millennial Palestine: Literature, Memory, Resistance confronts how Palestinians have recently felt obliged to re-think memory and resistance in response to dynamic political and regional changes in the twenty-first century; prolonged spatial and temporal dispossession; and the continued deterioration of the peace process. Insofar as the articulation of memory in (post)colonial contexts can be viewed as an integral component of a continuing anti-colonial struggle for self-determination, in tracing the dynamics of conveying the memory of ongoing, chronic trauma, this collection negotiates the urgency for Palestinians to reclaim and retain their heritage in a continually unstable and fretful present. The collection offers a distinctive contribution to the field of existing scholarship on Palestine, charting new ways of thinking about the critical paradigms of memory and resistance as they are produced and represented in literary works published within the post-millennial period. Reflecting on the potential for the Palestinian narrative to recreate reality in ways that both document it and resist its brutality, the critical essays in this collection show how Palestinian writers in the twenty-first century critically and creatively consider the possible future(s) of their nation.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Global Arab Fiction
Author: Nadia Atia
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 0429595468
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Global Arab Fiction explores twenty-first-century fiction set in north and east Africa, the Gulf, the Arab east, and diaspora, showing diversity and connections across Arab world contexts. Nadia Atia and Lindsey Moore draw on a substantial literary corpus, highlighting contemporary trends in what is available to Anglophone audiences and considering how Arab fiction circulates as a global commodity. Global Arab Fiction begins by positioning the Arab novel as a global phenomenon. It also explores the influence of literary prizes, notably the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, on the enhanced international visibility of Arab fiction this century. The authors tackle the thorny issue of violence, in representing Arab world contexts, and spotlight queer Arab desire, identity, and community. They address the rise of speculative Arab literary modes and show how both mobility and immobility challenge a global paradigm. Global Arab Fiction illuminates a vibrant body of literature rooted in, but not circumscribed by, a region redefined by twenty-first-century global geopolitics. This book offers new arguments about twenty-first-century Arab literary tropes, modes, consecration routes, identities, and contexts. It is unmissable for readers interested in contemporary, postcolonial, Arab/Middle Eastern, and world literary studies.

Hebrew Gothic
Author: Karen Grumberg
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253042291
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
“Makes a persuasive argument” that gothic ideas “play a vital role in how Hebrew writers have confronted history, culture, and politics.” —Robert Alter, author of Hebrew and Modernity Sinister tales written since the early twentieth century by the foremost Hebrew authors, including S.Y. Agnon, Leah Goldberg, and Amos Oz, reveal a darkness at the foundation of Hebrew culture. The ghosts of a murdered Talmud scholar and his kidnapped bride rise from their graves for a nocturnal dance of death; a girl hidden by a count in a secret chamber of an Eastern European castle emerges to find that, unbeknownst to her, World War II ended years earlier; a man recounts the act of incest that would shape a trajectory of personal and national history. Reading these works together with central British and American gothic texts, Karen Grumberg illustrates that modern Hebrew literature has regularly appropriated key gothic ideas to help conceptualize the Jewish relationship to the past and, more broadly, to time. She explores why these authors were drawn to the gothic, originally a European mode associated with antisemitism, and how they use it to challenge assumptions about power and powerlessness, vulnerability and violence, and to shape modern Hebrew culture. Grumberg provides an original perspective on Hebrew literary engagement with history and sheds new light on the tensions that continue to characterize contemporary Israeli cultural and political rhetoric.

The Palgrave Handbook of European Migration in Literature and Culture
Author: Corina Stan
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031307844
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 660
Book Description
The Palgrave Handbook of European Migration in Literature and Culture engages with migration to, within, and from Europe, foregrounding migration through the lenses of historical migratory movement and flows associated with colonialism and postcolonialism. With essays on literature, film, drama, graphic novels, and more, the book addresses migration and media, hostile environments, migration and language, migration and literary experiment, migration as palimpsest, and figurations of the migrant. Each section is introduced by one of the handbook’s contributing editors and interviews with writers and film directors are integrated throughout the volume. The essays collected in the volume move beyond the discourse of the “refugee crisis” to trace the historical roots of the current migration situation through colonialism and decolonization.

Always Victorious! The Earliest Church Not Pre - But Post-Millennial
Author: Francis Nigel Lee
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1411673018
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
Many modern Pretribulationists and other Dispensationalists claim that most (if not all) of the first Early Church Fathers were Rapturists. Such believe Jesus could return any moment to resurrect dead Christians and then secretly rapture His dwindling though still-living Church up in the air before the great tribulation of ungodly earthlings. Thereafter, the Church would then return and rule with Christ on Earth for a thousand years - until God would resurrect the wicked dead. That notion is false. Neither the Church of the Older Testament (even when under foreign domination) nor the always-struggling and often-persecuted Church of the Newer Testament ever expected to dwindle or to be whisked away; but only to conquer this great planet Earth under her victorious Messiah. That Church expected God not to the rapture her - but to heal the World His Son had come to save.
