Reviews

A rich, provocative, and welcome contribution to the study of modern Arab autobiographical representations...This is an analysis that will interest both scholars of traditional autobiography as well as a much broader readership of those interested in new cultural formations and identities in the modern Arab world.'--Dwight F. Reynolds, University of California, Santa Barbara "Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication"
