"The Arab Diaspora" includes chapters that range in subject matter
from a meditation on trans-national literature, to an investigation
of the Iraqi Jewish Diaspora in the United States of America.
Uniting these chapters is the overriding leitmotiv of Diaspora with
its multifarious notes of "otherness," "strangeness," "exile,"
"dispossession" and indeed, "yearning."
While much has been written down the ages on the Jewish Diaspora,
there are far fewer studies of the Arab situation. This volume
therefore aims to contribute to the study of the plethora of the
Arab Diasporic expressions, which range from literary texts such as
novels, short stories and poetry, to the various artistic
expressions such as music, dance and painting, to testimonies
voiced through various media channels such as film, documentary,
and the internet.
"The Arab Diaspora" attempts to explore the fluidity, and pain, of
boundaries and exile; Diaspora cannot eschew nostalgia and pain.
The main scope of the book embraces the triple, sometimes
interlocking-foci of the theoretical, the exilic and the literary.
The Arab Diaspora is essential reading for those with interests in
Arabic & Middle East studies, and cultural studies.
