Places water at the centre of a new approach to literary
criticismWater is a major global issue that will shape our future.
Rarely, however, has water been the subject of literary critical
attention. This book identifies water as a crucial new topic of
literary and cultural analysis at a critical moment for the world's
water resources, focusing on the urgent context of
Israel/Palestine. It argues for the necessity of recognising
water's vital importance in understanding contemporary Israeli and
Palestinian literature, showing that water is as culturally
significant as that much more obvious object of nationalist
attention, the land. In doing so, it offers new insights into
Israeli and Palestinian literature and politics, and into the role
of culture in an age of environmental crisis. Hydrofictions shows
that how we imagine water is inseparable from how we manage it.
This book is urgent and necessary reading for students and scholars
in Middle East Studies, postcolonial ecocriticism, the
environmental humanities and anyone invested in the future of the
world's water.
