Jordan’s Path to Stability
During the 1950s and 1960s, many observers believed that the Arab monarchies would eventually collapse, while republican regimes, particularly those led by military officers, would thrive. The reality turned out to be quite the opposite and thus far none, of the Arab monarchy regimes have ceased to exist. The common explanation for the survival of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) oil monarchies is their huge oil and gas rental revenues. However…
Condensed Realities
This article examines the lived Palestinian experience as reflected in very short stories written by three contemporary Palestinian writers—Najī Ẓāhir, Maḥmūd Shuqayr, and Yūsuf Ḥiṭṭīnī. It identifies three primary writing trends emerging from the works: (a) a social trend, reflected in Ẓāhir’s writing; (b) a national-political trend, evident in Shuqayr’s works; and (c) a romantic trend, characteristic of Ḥiṭṭīnī’s stories. The article offers a t…

Desert Fever

Literary Writing in the Emirate of Trans-Jordan During the Reign of Abdullah I (1921–1951)
This article deals with the literature that flourished in Jordan during the reign of King Abdullah I. It shows that although Abdullah wanted his views and the values of his regime to prevail over literary writing, behind the scenes, an opposition literature grew that undermined these values. Oppositional messages were disguised using various artistic means and many works were published outside rather than inside Jordan. In the end, however, it se…
Stereotypes and demonization in contemporary Palestinian literature in Jordan
This article examines the way in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel and the Israelis are reflected in contemporary Palestinian writing in Jordan, taking the work of Nablus-born Jordanian author Samia ʿAtʿut as a case study. The article shows how, on the one hand, ʿAtʿut uses literary writing as a tool to reflect the mood of the people in relation to the Palestinian issue. On the other hand, through writing full of obscurity, sophistry…

By employing both literary texts and historical documents, the article sheds light on the new reality that the border crossing created between the two states. While the historical sources reveal mainly the political aspects of the Mandelbaum Gate, the literar…
Between private and collective in new generation Palestinian literature
The article examines new generation Palestinian writing in the West Bank, focusing on the ongoing tension between the private and the collective dimensions in literary works there. The works of Palestinian writer of Ramallah, Akram Musallam (b. 1971), serve as test case. The article shows that Musallam's novels preserve a connection to the Palestinian problem and the national-political life on one hand, and create meanings beyond time and place l…
The Other Voice”
This article examines two anthologies of Palestinian women’s literature, published in Ramallah in the 1990s. Its objective is to map the writing trends of new generation Palestinian women writers whose works appear in the anthologies and to highlight the factors and constraints that influence their writing. The article reveals that while only a few stories focus wholly on a description of the female “self”, most of the stories relate to the Pales…
Oh, the Happy Queen’
This article examines the writing of Ḥuzāmah Ḥabāyib, a new generation Palestinian writer, who is considered one of the foremost Palestinian women writers. It focuses on her novel Qabl an tanām al-malikah, which serves as an example of the bold and dissident writing of the new generation of Palestinian women writers. The article examines the way in which Ḥabāyib creates a feminization of humour and a kind of a ‘feminine humour’. Ḥabāyib employs h…
Forbidden Words
This article examines the writing of Rajāʾ Bakriya, Rāwiya Burbāra, and Maysūn Assadī, prominent new-generation of Palestinian women writers in Israel, and shows how their writing deviates from the conservatism that is expected of such writers. In their writing, the three authors take their readers into the woman’s world of lust and passion while challenging and subverting the writing norms and using an original style and language. The article al…
One Sky
The present article illustrates how the change in the geographic location of Liyāna Badr, one of the prominent Palestinian women writers, influenced her writing in thematic and stylistic terms. It shows how Badr’s writing shifts from descriptions of isolation and loneliness, alienation and yearning for the past, to describing feelings of rage and frustration with the reality of Israeli occupation, and how from an innovative and vague writing styl…
Acoustic Walls”
This article examines the new line of writing introduced by young Palestinian women writers, focusing on the works of the Palestinian-Jordanian writer Sāmiyah ‘At‘ūt and her use of a relatively new literary genre, that of the Very Short Story. This article argues that ‘At‘ūt exploits the conciseness characteristic of this genre to underscore women’s issues and the feminine perspective, and to subvert male literary writing conventions. It shows ho…
A Compass for the Sunflower

The paper diachronically examines the changes and developments that have taken place from period to period. It also synchronically examines the characteristics common to works from the same period and the differences between one writing l…
