The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in English: The Politics of Anglo Arab and Arab American Literature and Culture . Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2013. Pp. 498. The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in English charts the development of the Anglophone Arab novel at the turn of the twentieth century, continues throughout the anti-colonial and nationalist periods, the ensuing successive waves of Arab immigration to Europe and the United States, and ends with the current period. The eighteen chapters are grouped under three distinct sections. The first part “Constellations: Modernity, Empire and Postcoloniality,” historicizes the development of the Anglophone Arab novel and reveals how colonialism, modernity and globalization are interlinked. The second part “Force-fields: Ethnic Ties and Transnational Solidarities,” probes in depth the issues of multiculturalism and transnationalism. The third and last part “Prospects/Challenges: Authority, Pedagogy and the Market Industry,” examines the politics of teaching, producing, and marketing Anglophone Arab novels.

Second, it highlights the particular sociopolitical and historical contexts that facilitated the emergence and the rise
