Looking for the best academic references / sources / scholars on pan-Arabism, who can help me out? Bonus point if it relates to literature!

@fatimazsaid Been saying this for yearsssss

@aaronisloml Different ilhamreads 😅

@timepessimist @aymz_a Haha its actually not a romance. It’s a postcolonial novel and considered a classic among Arabic literature of the second half of the twentieth century. It’s nice because it’s very positively Islamic which is very rare at the time. It’s also light and funny

@UmarFarooq_ @aymz_a Maalouf is Christian though - doesn’t mean he can’t write Islamic pov, just mentioning it just in case

@aymz_a Tayeb Salih’s The Wedding of Zein. This edition with additional stories by him and a great intro by Hisham Matar
