Anlysing both Arabic and English language texts, she questions the binary of negative and positive forms of nostalgia, emerging from its etymology as a sickness in Western tradition, through invoking the multifarious strands related to nostalgic emotion in Arab traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering an in-depth engagement with Anglophone Arab fiction in the context of critical and theoretical debates around memory, history and nostalgia, this book bridges the gap between Anglophone and Arabic scholarship, contributing to the ongoing postcolonial and transnational turn in memory studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tasnim Qutait\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755617592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755617593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Tasnim Qutait","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086828220671,"sku":"9780755617593","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9743aa26-7ed8-49f8-9952-7b78137b7b6d.jpg?v=1769096813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nostalgia-in-anglophone-arab-literature-tasnim-qutait-9780755617593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
