Winner of the 2013 Said Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation. A Land without Jasmine is a sexy, satirical detective story about the sudden disappearance of a young female student from Yemen's Sanaa University. Each chapter is narrated by a different character, beginning with Jasmine herself. The mystery surrounding her disappearance comes into clearer focus with each self-serving and idiosyncratic account provided by an acquaintance, family member, or detective. The hallucinatory ending, although appropriately foreshadowed, may come as a Sufi surprise for the reader. Less mystically inclined readers may want to reread this tale to construct an alternative ending. This short novel has echoes of both the Sherlock Holmes stories and The Catcher in the Rye as, in addition to the mystery and a murder, the novel contains candid discussions of coming of age in a land of sexual repression. Wajdi al-Ahdal is a satirical author with a fresh and provocative voice and an excellent eye for the telling details of his world.

Understanding the complexities of Arab politics, history, and culture has never been more important for North American readers. Yet even as Arabic literature is increasingly being translated into English, the modern Arabic literary tradition is still often treated as other--controversial, dangerous, difficult, esoteric, or exotic. This volume examines modern Arabic literature in context and introduces creative teaching methods that reveal the literature's richness, relevance, and power to anglophone students. Addressing the complications of translation head on, the volume interweaves such important issues such as gender, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the status of Arabic literature in world literature. Essays cover writers from the recent past, like Emile Habiby and Tayeb Salih; contemporary Palestinian, Egyptian, and Syrian literatures; and the literature of the nineteenth-century Nahda.

New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book! A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed. Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

The book is a critical search for the hidden threads of origins of unfinished colonialism in the Arab World, particularly Yemen. It exposes the new form of colonialism which has been running in the name of fighting terrorism. The book also unravels the man-made norms that deconstruct the (Yemeni) Arab identity and herald the emergence of the violent sects. For that, the book has critically decoded the unread messages of the Yemeni novelist Wajdi al-Ahdal in his controversial novels, Mountainous Boats 2002, A Donkey among Songs 2004, Quarantine Philosopher 2007, A Land without Jasmine 2008. The book also questions the ongoing violence and the Arab Spring (Uprisings) which began in 2010 and is still up-to-now leading to a socio-political collapse of the Arab countries, particularly Yemen. The book reveals the dark side of religious clerics who have been legitimizing the corruption of the dictators in the Arab world.

This book is a comparative study that brings a literary dialogue between Arab culture and Latin American culture. It has used the intertextual theory to decipher the friendly relationship between the world cultures. The study sheds light on the theory and then gradually brings the reader to the depth of the discourse. The study is a search for the identity of the text as Intertextuality is a theory of a literary text that expands and widens the identity of the text to include its origins in and its uses of texts of the past, and what happens between "inter" a text of the present and a text of the past may be covert or overt, implicit or explicit, hidden or open. In view of this, the study reveals the correlations between Paulo Coelho, The Zahir and Wajdi Al-Ahdal's A Land without Jasmine. The study aims at analyzing the convergent motives between Coelho's themes and Al-Ahdal's.
