ARABIC 280L - Muslim Women Writers

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | 
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course engages students with Muslim women?s voices through the prisms of literary criticism and feminist theory. Muslim women have long used literature to advance their status and fight for their rights, but also to declare agency over their narratives and rewrite history from their own perspectives. Students will learn about the role of major political events, cultural ideologies, and literary movements in shaping modern literatures by Muslim women. Students are expected to emerge from this class with a better understanding Muslim feminism?s literary poetics, and its contributions to the advancement for Muslim women around the globe.
