Description
Book SynopsisSituated in the fields of contemporary literary and cultural studies, the ten essays collected in
Generations of Dissent shed light on the artistic creativity, cultural production, intellectual movements, and acts of political dissidence across the Middle East and North Africa.
Trade ReviewAn important book. . . . It is sure to have a wide audience beyond just Middle East studies: media studies, gender studies, comparative literature, and anthropology. This is an illuminating and insightful collection that connects cultural production, state authority, and dissent across North Africa and the Middle East. The various essays explore aesthetics and politics in art, film, journalism, and literature, and offer detailed cases for the critical analysis of cultural politics. I can think of few books so incredibly relevant to social scientists and cultural scholars.
