Selected Issues in the Modern Intercultural Contacts between Arabic and Hebrew Cultures by Mahmoud Kayyal
In his book Selected Issues in the Modern Intercultural Contacts between Arabic and Hebrew Cultures, Mahmoud Kayyal examines the modern intercultural contacts between Arabic and Hebrew cultures from postcolonial perspectives. An aggressive relationship exists between the two cultures that stems from the combination of Hebrew culture’s representation of neo-colonial Western culture and the majority-minority relations between Jews and Arabs within Israel. By focusing on specific issues in these intercultural contacts, especially translation activity between the two languages, Hebrew linguistic interference in the Palestinian literature, and Hebrew writings of Palestinian authors, Kayyal reveals the ongoing struggle between the Zionist orientation and the subversive forces that attempt to undermine the Zionist narrative, and to preserve the Palestinian narrative.
Mahmoud Kayyal, Ph.D. (2001), Tel Aviv University, is Head of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at that university. He has published monographs, translations and articles on Arabic-Hebrew-Arabic intercultural relations, including Translation in the Shadow of Confrontation (Magnes, 2006).
