Thou Shalt not Speak My Language by Abdelfattah Kilito

Thou Shalt not Speak My Language by Abdelfattah Kilito

It has been said that the difference between a language and a dialect is that a language is a dialect with an army. This title explores the tension between dynamics of literary influence and canon formation within the Arabic literary tradition. It challenges the reader to re-examine notions of translation, bilingualism, and postcoloniality.

Its availability to Anglophone scholars of Arabic literature, as well as students of comparative literature and literary theory, [is] an invaluable service to the literary profession" - Terry DeYoung, author of Placing the Poet: Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Postcolonial Iraq

Abdelfattah Kilito, professor in the Department of French at Muhammad V University in Rabat, Morocco, has published extensively on Arabic literature. His book The Author and His Doubles was also published by Syracuse University Press.

Wail S. Hassan is associate professor of comparative literature at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the author of Tayed Salih: Ideology and the Craft of Fiction, also published by Syracuse University Press.
