Scheherazade's Legacy
Arab and
Arab American Women on Writing
Edited by
Susan Muaddi Darraj Forward by Barbara Nimri Aziz
Published
:2004
Pages:
HC
Price
In a time
when it seems that the gap of understanding between the West and the
Middle East continues to widen, Scheherazade's Legacy builds a
bridge between the two cultures. Collected here are the voices of
those who define the genre of Arab writing in English - literature
that describes the cultural experiences of those with Arab
identities living, and often writing, in the West. Contributions
from such writers as Naomi Shihab Nye, Diana Abu-Jaber, Suheir
Hammad, Etal Adnan, Elmaz Abinader, and others, explore the
complexities of writing in and for a culture not entirely their own.
The essays here, complemented by selections, mostly original, of
each author's work, promise to be a cornerstone in the study of
writing by women writers of Arab descent who find themselves between
two cultures, two worlds that are often at odds. With a foreword by
Barbara Nimri Aziz, journalist and founder of RAWI (Radius of
Arab-American Writers), this collection is one of the first books to
assemble the voices of women writers of Arab descent on the subject
of writing itself. Contributors consider the difficulties,
obstacles, joys, failures and successes of writing from an Arab
perspective but largely for western audiences. They consider aspects
of identity, family, politics, memory and other crucial cultural
issues that impact them personally and professionally as writers |
