Classical Arabic stories : an anthology by
Salma Khadra Jayyusi(
)
16 editions published between 2010 and 2012 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,777 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Short fiction was an immensely innovative art in the medieval Arab world, providing the perfect vehicle for transmitting dazzling images of life and experiences as early as pre-Islamic times. These works also speak to the urbanization of the Arab domain after Islam, mirroring the bustling life of the Muslim Arabs and Islamized Persians and reflecting the sure stamp of an urbanity that had settled very staunchly after big conquests. All the noises and voices of the Umayyads and Abbasids are here. One can taste the flavor of Abbasid food, witness the rise of slave girls and singers, and experience the pride of state. Reading these texts today illuminates the wide spectrum of early Arab life and suggests the influences and innovations that flourished so vibrantly in medieval Arab society ... -- Product Description

Human rights in Arab thought : a reader by
Salma Khadra Jayyusi(
Book
)
14 editions published between 2008 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 507 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"While the notion of 'human rights' is sometimes thought to be a product of the Western Enlightenment, human rights as a subject for philosophical enquiry and as the basis for government in fact have a long and rich heritage within Arab thought. In this book, Salma K. Jayyusi brings together a list of distinguished scholars to reflect the range and depth of Arab thinking on this subject. Translated from the best-selling Arabic edition, this work offers English readers a fresh and original insight into the rich, well-established and, nonetheless, contentious literature of human rights. Leading Arab intellectuals such as Muhammad 'Abid al-Jabiri and Muhammad Arkoun have made contributions on topics ranging from the concept of the individual in early Islamic texts to labour laws in the contemporary Middle East. They write from a number of perspectives: Islamic, secular, generalist, regionalist, historical and political, bringing together ideas which will challenge and enlighten anyone interested in human rights and the modern Arab world. From the Medina Charter to the citizenship struggles of Palestinian refugees, Salma K. Jayyusi's book offers the first comprehensive guide to this important and often overlooked aspect of Arab political and intellectual culture"--Jacket

Short Arabic plays : an anthology(
Book
)
8 editions published between 2003 and 2012 in English and held by 472 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
It's only in fairly recent times that Arab writers have turned their hands to the theater. This collection of nineteen plays is evidence of the remarkable strides made as numerous playwrights have come to grips with this genre's problems and potential. The essence of the collection is its sheer variety. The subject matter ranges from the horrors of a political prison camp to the comic tribulations of furtive lovers trapped in a minefield, from historical fable to the world of official bureaucracy, while dramatic treatments range from the conventional to the highly experimental, some using surreal techniques -- now disturbing, now hilariously amusing. Many of the plays use humor or pungent satire to address distinctively Arab issues and problems, whether these have their source outside or inside the Arab world itself. The collection gives a valuable insight into a fast-changing and increasingly distinctive area of modern Arabic literature. -- From publisher's description

Tales of Juha : classic Arab folk humor(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 140 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Juha is an old Arab comic literary figure around whom countless popular anecdotes were written. He appears variously as preacher and beggar, porter and petty merchant, thief and honest man, judge and social critic, wise man and fool, jester and charlatan (though never as wealthy man or oppressor). While the subject matter is Arab or otherwise Islamic, the humor transcends national and cultural boundaries to achieve a universality that is instantly recognizable and accessible today."--Jacket

My Jerusalem : essays, reminiscences, and poems(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 112 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"A passionate and eclectic collection of essays, poems, and scholarship that brings to life Jerusalem, in its embattled, contemporary guise as well as in its ancient history. The book begins in the immediacy of today's Jerusalem - with its dispossession and laws, its bloody conflicts and massive skyscrapers - and moves backward in time to Classical Jerusalem, working to disentangle the knots of the three great monotheistic religions, and finally comes to rest in a section that is a testament to the physical facts of Jerusalem: its monuments and alleys, its smells, its music, its people."--Jacket
