INTS 306 - Literature,Politics & History:Middle Eastern Voices

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

In the modern Middle East, novelists, short story writers, and poets have been among the sharpest social critics. Many have addressed highly controversial topics or have defied cultural taboos, by writing about oppression, corruption, and violence in their political, religious, or sexual dimensions. In this reading- and discussion-intensive seminar, we will read works by writers from a range of Middle Eastern countries -- including Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Morocco, and Egypt -- in order to understand and analyze some of the major social issues and dilemmas that have confronted the region's peoples during a century of profound changes. 1.00 units, Lecture
