The book offers direct readings of a representative selection of primary texts, shedding light on the divergent ways these authors understood race across different genres, including pre-Islamic classical poetry, polemical essays, travel narratives, novels, and films. Starting with the first recognized Black-Arab poet Antara Ibn Shaddad (580 C.E.) and extending right up to the present day, the works examined illuminate the changes in consciousness that attended Black Africans as they negotiated their position in Arab society. In a twist to Edward Said's Orientalism, the book argues that scholars in the Middle East and North Africa generated a hierarchical representational discourse themselves, one equally predicated on the Self-Other binary. However, it also demonstrates that Arab racial discourse is not a linear rhetoric but changes according to history, political circumstances and ideologies such as tribal politics, the Shu'ubiyya movement, nationalism, and imperialism. Challenging fundamental assumptions of Black Diaspora studies and post-colonial studies, this book will be of interest to scholars of the African diaspora, Arabic literature, Middle East studies and critical race studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Blacks in literature. 650 0 $a Arabic literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Arabic literature $z Africa, North $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Blacks in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Arab countries $x History. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Africa, North $x History. 650 7 $a Arabic literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812478 650 7 $a Blacks in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834025 650 7 $a Blacks in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834029 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 651 7 $a North Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239515 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Khannous, Touria, $t Black--Arab encounters in literature and film $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022. $z 9780429462979 $w (DLC) 2021006967 830 0 $a Routledge African studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72088538323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
