Scheherazade’s Legacy: Arab and Arab American Women on Writing by Susan Muaddi Darraj
Requirements: .PDF reader, 7.3 Mb
Overview: In a time when it seems that the gap of understanding between the West and the Middle East continues to widen, Scheherazade’s Legacy builds a bridge between the two cultures. Collected here are the voices of those who define the genre of Arab Anglophone writing–that literature that describes the cultural experiences of those with Arab identities living, and often writing, in the West. Contributions from such writers as Naomi Shihab Nye, Diana Abu-Jaber, Suheir Hammad, Etal Adnan, Elmaz Abinader, and others, explore the complexities of writing in and for a culture not entirely their own. The essays here, complemented by selections, mostly original, of each author’s work, promises to be a cornerstone in the study of writing by women writers of Arab descent who find themselves between two cultures, two worlds that are often at odds.
