Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist
Perspective is the first sustained study of gender-consciousness in
the Palestinian creative imagination. Drawing on concepts from
postcolonial feminist theory, Ball analyses a range of literary and
filmic works by major creative practitioners including Michel
Khleifi, Liana Badr, Annemarie Jacir, Elia Suleiman, Mona Hatoum
and Suheir Hammad, and reveals a hitherto unrecognized trajectory
in gender-consciousness under development in the Palestinian
imagination from the start of the twentieth century. The book
explores how these works resonate with questions of power,
identity, nation, resistance, and self-representation in the
Palestinian imagination more broadly, and asks how these
gender-conscious narratives transform our understanding of
Palestine's struggle for postcoloniality. Working at the cusp of
postcolonial, feminist and cultural enquiry, Ball seeks to open up
vital new directions in the interdisciplinary study of
Palestine.
