Teaching strategies for one of the world's most widely read
collections of stories The Thousand and One Nights, composed in
Arabic from the eighth to the fourteenth centuries, is one of the
world's most widely circulated and influential collections of
stories. To help instructors introduce the tales to students, this
volume provides historical context and discusses the many
transformations of the stories in a variety of cultures. Among the
topics covered are the numerous translations and their impact on
the tales' reception; various genres represented by the tales;
gender, race, and slavery; and adaptations of the stories in films,
graphic novels, and other media across the world and under
conditions of both imperialism and postcolonialism. The essays
serve instructors in subjects like medieval literature, world
literature, and Middle and Near Eastern studies and make a case for
teaching the Thousand and One Nights in courses on identity and
race.
