Trans-Cultural Conflicts and Dialogues

This book captures the dialogues and conflicts which shape the geopolitical map of the Middle East navigating the historical entanglements and socio-cultural paradigms triggered by the power relations in the region. Engaging the socio-cultural landscape in the Middle East from the perspectives of American and Arabic writers this study intervenes in colonial discourses and narratives of political conflicts and ideological orientations breaking new ground in American and Arabic literatures and penetrating into the contemporary state of institutionalized corruption and moral stagnation integral to the Middle East in the post-imperialist era.
