Wen-chin Ouyang shows how this has created a politics of nostalgia which can be traced to discourses on aesthetics, ethics and politics relevant to cultural and literary transformations of the Arabic speaking world in the 19th and 20th centuries. She reveals nostalgia and madness as the tropes through which the Arabic novel writes its own story of grappling with and resisting the hegemony of both the state and cultural heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wen-Chin Ouyang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748655697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748655694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Wen-Chin Ouyang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086798336255,"sku":"9780748655694","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bec8347-7893-450b-b6d2-268b6fdebc1b.jpg?v=1769096644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-of-nostalgia-in-the-wen-chin-ouyang-9780748655694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
