Special Topic in Modern Palestinian Literature

Specific themes, common in Palestinian literature, such as land, resistance literature, exile literature, poetry of the Nakba (disaster of 1948) are examined. An artistic feature, such as symbolism in Palestinian literature, structure of novel or language in narrative prose, may be included. A study of a Palestinian writer such as Ghassan Kanafani, Jabra I. Jabra, Emil Habibi, Mahmoud Darwish or Samih al-Qassim, may highlight this course.
