• W1163205880 abstract "This article examines Idris 'Ali's al-Nubi (2001) and Baha' Tahir's Wahat al-ghurub (2006) and their significant novelistic undertakings of Nubian and Amazigh experiences in Egypt, respectively. Departing from ethnically confined and linguistically monolithic picture of nation-state, both novels shift their creative concern toward marginal communities of Nubia and Siwa, whose cultures, languages, and histories are often overlooked due to dominant cultural discourses and reductive historical narratives. The article demonstrates how novels are deeply historical and suggests we can only understand implicit inequalities of contemporary Egyptian society by looking to past. ********** The millennium has witnessed appearance of novels that exhibit a consciousness and a critical sensibility towards difference and complexity of Egyptian population amidst its political, socio-economic, and cultural instabilities. Examples of these novels include Idris 'Ali's al-Nubi, 2001 Nubian), Baha' Tahir's Wahat al-ghurub, 2006 (Sunset Oasis, 2009), Yusuf Zaydan's 'Azazil, 2009 (Azazeel, 2012), Mu'taz Futayha's Akhir yahud al-iskandariyya, 2007 Last Jews of Alexandria), Hassan Nur's Dawwamat al-shamal, 2007 (Northern Whirlpools), Khairi Shalabi's Istasiyya, 2009, and Ashraf al-Khamaysi's Manafi al-rabb, 2012 (God's Exiles). They, as part of an emerging tendency in contemporary novelistic production, depart from confined and relatively monolithic picture of nation-state and shift their concern toward cultural experiences of individuals from ethnically and religiously marginal communities whose histories and languages are often overlooked due to dominant cultural discourses and reductive historical narratives. This trend is firmly taking root in Arabic literary tradition since some of these novels have been acknowledged for their aesthetic and literary ingenuity through prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction; Tahir's Wahat al-ghurub and Zaydan's 'Azazil won prize in two consecutive years, 2008 and 2009. Renowned critics of contemporary Arabic literature such as Sabry Hafez (The New Egyptian Novel), Richard Jacquemond (The Shifting Limits), and Sarnia Mehrez (Egypt's Culture Wars) intensely examine social, cultural, and political conditions that permeate novelistic production in Egypt. Reflecting on immanent struggle between Egyptian fiction writers, state, and conservative society at large, their studies closely observe nuances within modern and contemporary Egyptian novels, and use historically reflexive methods to interpret them. Hafez identifies a plethora of recent novels written by a group of Egyptian novelists whom he calls 1990s generation. He describes antagonisms with which these novels were met both by state and literary establishment, even though they demonstrate shared and distinct formal features that separate them from realist and modernist works. (1) Hafez also observes how these young writers were accused of poor education, nihilism, loss of direction, lack of interest in public issues and obsessive concentration on body; of stylistic poverty, weak grammar, inadequate narrative skills and sheer incomprehensibility (49). He refutes this institutional position toward this new wave of novels and, instead, draws critics' attention to correlation between these works' formal features and urban transformations has undergone since 1970s. As sketched by Hafez, Egyptian poor responds to neglect of state and its insufficient housing provisions by taking the matter into their own hands (47) and developing what is known as al-mudun al-'ashwa'iyya or sprawling slums of Cairo (50), just as 1990s generation adopts common narrative features that reflect their existential crises within an irrational, duplicitous reality (49). …" @default.
