Fourth Year Modern Arabic I · Middle Eastern, South Asian, And African Studies
I delved into a diverse archive of short stories and essays written in Arabic by Moroccan authors (Abdelkébir Khatibi, Mohamed Zifzaf, Leila Abouzeid, Kilito, Mohamed Abed Al-Jabri, Khnatha Benouna, Fatima Mernissi, etc.). I discussed the literary qualities of the texts, as well as broader concepts related to decolonization, culture, translation, migration, and more. Also solidified my knowledge of grammatical concepts (al-maf3oul, tamyiz, al-hal, different types of verbs).
I read and learned about a variety of short stories from across the Arab world.
Arabic literature and grammar, perspectives on the Arab world, so much more
A lot of work, but so worth the effort if you want to grow tremendously in your Arabic skills.
