'Anticipating' the 2011 Arab uprisingsrevolutionary literatures and political geographies /[electronic resource] :Rita Sakr. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

1. Introduction: Anticipating, Writing, and Rebelling in the Arab World -- 2. 'A way of making a space for ourselves where we can make the best of ourselves': Writing Egypt's 'Tahrir' -- 3. 'Here it's either silence or exile': The Stories of 'Rats' that Rebelled in Libya -- 4. 'We would meet them one day, and call them to account for their oppression': Post-2005 Prison Writings in Syria.

This study examines the ways in which the relationships between the creative power of revolutionary people and the revolutionary power of creative artists, especially writers, are evident in the on-going Arab uprisings. Bringing together literature, cultural geography, and human rights discourse, it explores a range of recent novels and memoirs from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria. These works sought to unravel the political geographies of injustice and popular discontent and thus 'anticipated' or imaginatively envisioned as well as participated in some of the major current upheavals in their particular national contexts. By revealing socio-economic divisions and spatial injustice, disappearances and political prisons, surveillance and exile as well as the revolutionary spirit of oppressed populations and the dangers of counter-revolutionary forces, civil strife, and fundamentalism, they variously re-imagine the realities that triggered the transformations we are now witnessing.
