This book traces the roots of Arabic science fiction through
classical and medieval Arabic literature, undertaking close
readings of formative texts of Arabic science fiction via a
critical framework developed from the work of Western critics of
Western science fiction, Arab critics of Arabic science fiction and
postcolonial theorists of literature. Ian Campbell investigates the
ways in which Arabic science fiction engages with a theoretical
concept he terms "double estrangement" wherein these texts provide
social or political criticism through estrangement and
simultaneously critique their own societies' inability or refusal
to engage in the sort of modernization that would lead the Arab
world back to leadership in science and technology.
