- The Arabic Novel: The course covers the development of the novel in the Arabic tradition, from the Arabian Nights (the Sindbad Cycle) until 2011. The novel has proved to be an excellent medium in which Arab authors, writing in Arabic and in English, have engaged with politics, religion, and social change. The course includes authors such as Taha Hussein, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, Tayeb Saleh, Hanan Sheikh, Ghassan Kanafani, Emile Habibi, Nuruddin Farah, and others. Many nationalities are included, along with two films that demonstrate the globalization of Arabic narratives. The course ends with novels by Arab Americans with a focus on the role that they and others are playing in the development of a unique literature in English.

- Class Description:
In this course, we will read literary texts from diverse backgrounds written in the nineteenth-century and after. While works written by American or British authors are not entirely excluded, our focus is with authors of other national origins and their engagement with English and literatures written in English. This course will cover texts originally written in English as well as texts that gained currency within the Anglophone world through translation. As we read a text in the broad light of imperialism and postcolonialism, we will examine issues of race, gender, and class at work in the text within specific historical and political contexts.
- Class Format:
- Mostly discussion-based.
