Allah's Spacious Earth is a stunningly fresh and timely political
dystopia that depicts the tragic yet very real consequences of
tensions between majority populations and Muslim minorities in the
Western world. The novel is set in an imagined future where
anti-Muslim sentiment and political pressure lead to a community
being cut off from the rest of society. Told from the perspective
of Nasim, a young Muslim living in the Zone-an urban area within
one of the states forming the Pan-European Federation-the story
follows his journey as he struggles with the restrictions imposed
upon him along with the expectations of his community. In the
tradition of Michel Houellbecq's Submission and Boualem Sansal's
2084, Allah's Spacious Earth is a powerful novel of ideas that
brilliantly captures a growing fear in Western societies and its
devastating fallout.
Omar Sayfo textually analyses around 40 animation productions in
Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, the Palestinian Territories,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates,
from the 1930s until recently. He shows how rival notions of
national, pan-Arab and Islamic identities have been advocated,
challenged and fused by Arab animated cartoons.
