Contributions are sought for a book in English on the theme of Belonging in the Age of (what I call) "Troubled Globalization". The issue of identity can be addressed critically, reflectively, and creatively from interdisciplinary perspectives. Arab creative writers, critics/scholars, artists and journalists are requested to write around 15-20-page narrative/reflective/non-fictional/critical essays (in the I-mode) about how they map their own identities in our ever-changing cultural and political formations. Contributors are requested to reflect in their narratives on how self-expression in the age of "Troubled Globalization" has affected/influenced their modes of artistic expressions.
