Writers and Nations:The Case of American and Saudi Literatures
examines how the concept of the nation in nineteenth century
American literature and twentieth century and contemporary Saudi
Arabian literature is represented in an array of relevant works.
Reading their works gives us a sense of their conceptions of nation
as a political and/or a social community. Writers examined in this
book often see the nation as a threat to marginalized groups, due
to its cultural, religious and political constraints. Writers tend
to represent the tension between individuals and communities as a
significant key to understanding a particular nation. This tension
carries in it a sense of the boundaries of the nation. It is a
question of who is part of the nation and who is not. The
constraints of a certain nation, be they political or social,
include the dominant by excluding the repressed or the
marginalized. In other words, by exposing the tension between
disenfranchised and dominant groups, writers define, redefine and
reform for us the national political and social scenes of a
particular nation.
