This Edinburgh Companion seeks to develop a postcolonial framework
for addressing the Middle East. The first collection of essays on
this subject, it assembles some of the world's foremost
postcolonialists to explore the critical, theoretical and
disciplinary possibilities that inquiry into this region opens for
postcolonial studies. Throughout its twenty-four chapters, its
focus is on literary and cultural critique. It draws on texts and
contexts from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first
centuries as case studies, and deploys the concept of
'post/colonial modernity' to reveal the enduring impact of colonial
and imperial power on the shaping of the region. And it covers a
wide and significant range of political, social, and cultural
issues in the Middle East during that period - including the
heritage of Orientalism in the region; the roots and contemporary
branches of the Israel-Palestine conflict; colonial history, state
formation and cultures of resistance in Egypt, Turkey, the Maghreb
and the wider Arab world; the clash of tradition and modernity in
regional and transnational expressions of Islam; the politics of
gender and sexuality in the Arab world; the ongoing crises in
Libya, Iraq, Iran and Syria; the Arab Spring; and the Middle
Eastern refugee crisis in Europe.
