Research project

“Prophecies of a Madman in a Cursed City”: The Birth & Demise of the Arab-Jewish Literature

Project summary

We are witnessing the demise of Arab-Jewish culture ― a tradition of more than 1,500 years is vanishing following an unspoken agreement between Zionism and Arab nationalism; both highlighting a “pure” Jewish-Zionist identity against a “pure” Muslim-Arab one. I plan to write a book on modern Jewish Arabic belles lettres bearing symbolically the title of a book by Samīr Naqqāsh that passed away without possessing elementary means for honorable survival. “I don’t exist in [Israel],” he said before his death, “I don’t feel that I belong anywhere, not since my roots were torn from [Baghdad].”
