Inchallah boza
Our study focuses on language practices among sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco by analysing the emergence, transformation and use of the words tranquilo, boza and polo.

Our article foregrounds an analysis of these terms and language practices and offers nuanced understandings of experiences and lives in displacement. We argue that su…

Postcolonial Locations
Postcolonial Locations seeks to clarify the meaning of 'the postcolonial' through close textual readings, and prioritises material and located readings over more abstract theoretical discussions; it seeks to re-orient the field by providing practical explorations of what the discipline is for. The book begins with an introduction of the key theoretical debates in the field – between the universal and the particular; the global and the local – but…

Popular Protest Music and the 2011 Egyptian Revolution
© 2014 Taylor & Francis.Music and performance have been at the heart of the ongoing Egyptian revolution since its outbreak on January 25, 2011. In this paper, we argue that popular protest music in particular has helped to shape and articulate emerging desires and aspirations as well as participating in criticisms and grievances at the site of political change. We aim to demonstrate, through the analysis of popular protest songs, how the 2011 Egy…
The international Palestinian resistance
This article traces the foundations of the struggle for international recognition at the level of cultural production within the Palestinian movement for self-determination. Both the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) used innovative rhetorical strategies in documentary film-making to argue for the international status of the Palestinian struggle, in the process revealing themselve…
Negotiating un-belonging in Arab-American writing
This article explores post-9/11 articulations of belonging in Arab-American writing, in particular Laila Halaby's novel Once in a Promised Land (2007). Alongside urgently expressing strong anti-essentialist viewpoints about Arab-American identities, Halaby's novel also confounds the expectation that there is always an empowering and nurturing ethno-national community standing offstage, ready to welcome the wayward migrant. Recent criticism in thi…

Contemporary Arab Women Writers
This book engages with contemporary Arab women writers from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon and Algeria. In spite of Edward Said’s groundbreaking reappraisal of the uneven relationship between the West and the Arab world in Orientalism, there has been little postcolonial criticism of Arab writing. Anastasia Valassopoulos raises the profile of Arab women writers by examining how they negotiate contexts and experiences that have come to be identified wit…

Secrets” and “Closed Off Areas”
This article seeks to unravel how defining the concept of tarab or ”enchantment„ in Arab popular culture is fraught with ambivalence by those who attempt to do so. I argue that the description of this concept as a ”secret„ or ”closed off area„ may in fact strategically act as a deterrent to fixing the definition of an aesthetic that is specific to the appreciation of artistic accomplishment in Arab culture. The subsequent discussion on Edward Sai…
