The Predicament of the Individual in the Middle EastḤāzim Ṣāghīyah Saqi Books, 2001 - 224 من الصفحات The first study of its kind, this collection examines the sense of individual in the Arab Middle East. After the collapse of totalitarianism and semi-totalitarian ideologies, democracy has gained some influence in Arab political discourse, yet the sense of the individual remains overlooked. The book provides a critical reading of historical developments since the late-18th century, and a cultural commentary on the manifestations of a fledgling individualism in the fields of poetry, plastic arts, film, and other aspects of everyday life. |
