In pointed and witty prose, El-Ariss bridges the gap between Nahda (the so-called Arab project of Enlightenment) and postcolonial and postmodern fiction.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Tarek El-ArissGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Literary CriticismType: TextbookRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
