Description
The Palestinian Novel From 1948 to the Present by Bashir Abu-Manneh explores how Palestinian novelists have responded to the national dispossession and occupation of Palestine since 1948. This study charts the development of the Palestinian novel in exile and under occupation, examining its links between aesthetics and politics. Abu-Manneh's analysis combines historical context with textual readings of key novels by prominent Palestinian writers, revealing themes of humanism, self-sacrifice, mutuality, and self-realization. The book also engages critically with literary theory, including the work of Genet and Khoury, to explore questions of struggle and self-determination. By examining the Palestinian novel in this way, Abu-Manneh sheds light on the complex relationships between politics, literature, and identity in the context of Palestine's ongoing conflict.
