Reading Iraqi Women's Novels in English Translation : Iraqi Women's Stories EPUB
by Ruth Abou Rached
Part of the Focus on Global Gender and Sexuality series
EPUB
Description
By exploring how translation has shaped the literary contexts of six Iraqi woman writers, this book offers new insights into their translation pathways as part of their stories' politics of meaning-making.
The writers in focus are Samira Al-Mana, Daizy Al-Amir, Inaam Kachachi, Betool Khedairi, Alia Mamdouh and Hadiya Hussein, whose novels include themes of exile, war, occupation, class, rurality and storytelling as cultural survival. Using perspectives of feminist translation to examine how Iraqi women's story-making has been mediated in English translation across differing times and locations, this book is the first to explore how Iraqi women's literature calls for new theoretical engagements and why this literature often interrogates and diversifies many literary theories' geopolitical scope.
This book will be of great interest for researchers in Arabic literature, women's literature, translation studies and women and gender studies.
