Ittiḥād (Haifa, Israel)
Content:
This volume seeks to document the development of the Palestinian short story between 1944 and 1967. This particularly significant phase that carried the seeds, from which the short story grew, was greatly influenced by the last years of the British mandate over Palestine in 1944, the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and the subsequent changes that impacted Palestinian society in this country until the Arabs’ defeat in the Six Day War, 1967.Within the fold of this volume, the reader will find two parts: the first is a general account of the development of the genre of short fiction and the different approaches that characterized it along with a discussion of the language and an examination of the content. The second is an anthology of twenty-five stories published between 1944 and 1967 by Al-Itti?ad, an Israeli Arabic-language daily newspaper
Content:
“This significant book monitoring and documenting a critical stage in the history of modern Palestinian literature preserves Palestinian short stories which would have remained kept in old newspaper archives and unexplored corners of ignored libraries. Furthermore, it offers scholars and readers a comprehensive critique of these stories illustrating the circumstances under which these short stories were written and discussing the various literary trends and streams that influenced their artistic structure and contents.”—Mahmoud Ghanayem, Professor of Modern Arabic Literature, Tel Aviv University; Chairman, Arabic Language Academy, Israel
