CFP: [International] Workers' Struggles and Nationalist Movements in the Arab World, 1900-present
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit abstracts on "Workers' Struggles and
Nationalist Movements in the Arab World, 1900-present" before 1
September 2008. We are directing a workshop on this theme at the
Tenth Mediterranean Research Meeting which will take place near
Florence (Italy) on 25 â€"28 March 2009.
We welcome contributions on Arab workers' literature (not limited to
the zajal or colloquial poetry of Egypt), workers in Arab literature
(including such works as Abdelrahman Munif's novel Mudun al-milh), as
well as Arab workers in literature in European languages (such as the
Algerians in William Gardner Smith's novel The Stone Face).
You will find the workshop abstract below:
