Jealousy in Willa Cather's Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940)
This study investigates the sources of jealousy in Willa Cather's Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940), focusing especially on Sapphira and Nancy's characters, who appear to present a traditional and stereotyped view of women's image in the southern American community during the 1930s and 1940s. In its purest form, Sapphira's envy stems from a desperate desire to have a genuine conventional family filled with love and stability. Sapphira hopes to g…

A Counter ‘Image of Africa’ in Two Postcolonial Narratives by Tayeb Salih and Chinua Achebe From a Comparative Perspective
This study presents two twentieth-century African narratives from a postcolonial comparative perspective. The study highlights corresponding observations in “Dead Men’s Path” by the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe and “The Doum-tree of Wad Hamid” by the Sudanese Tayeb Salih in relation to the colonial strategy of stereotyping Africa as premodern and unprogressive and how this strategy widens the gap between generations and undermines the cultural i…
Interpreting and Power
This article investigates the damage enforced on interpreters in colonial and postcolonial settings. It explores the subordination of an African interpreter working for an American missionary in the Congo, as presented in Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible (1998). This is an unexplored area in the novel, and the article shows how the interpreter falls amongst the subaltern groups. The intertwined narratives about the colonization of the Co…
A Comparative and Contrastive Study of Arabic and English Metonymic Expressions
This study explores Arabic and English metonymy’s literary, semantic, lexical, and aesthetic aspects. It investigates metonymy as a figure of speech and compares its types and functions in the two languages. The study confirms that metonymy is culture-bound – that is the meanings of metonymies derive from the socio-cultural values of societies and can’t be separated from the contexts in which they occur. The study stresses the significance of con…
Sudanese Women, Slavery, and Race in Samiha Khrais’s Novel Slaves’ Peanuts
This study shows how the contemporary novel Slaves’ Peanuts (2016) by the Jordanian novelist Samiha Khrais presents slavery as a dilemma in the late twentieth century in Sudan. The novel provides a fairly grim and evocative depiction of the enslavement of women in a non-slavery era, bringing to mind the notorious involvement of Portugal in the slave trade during colonial times, and the implications of that colonial involvement on modern-day “Thir…
Venuti versus Nida
In western translation theories, Lawrence Venuti and Eugene Nida appear to be standing at too opposing poles regarding the equivalence theory, and are notable for their prominent disagreement on the issue. Their theories diverge in their responses to equivalence, and disagree, essentially, on the functions of translation as well as the aspects of an acceptable translation. This disagreement unfolded itself clearly during a conference at Binghamto…
