Description

The book examines how imprisoned Arab authors challenge regimes that seek to reduce them to “docile bodies” or worse-subject them to haywana, the process of animalization that strips prisoners of their humanity. Through clandestine writing, fragmented memory, and testimonial prose, these writers reclaim agency, redefine political subjectivity, and subvert hegemonic narratives. Prison Narratives in the Arab World looks at the prison as more than a site of incarceration but a battlefield of meaning, memory, and identity. This study explores the political, cultural, and literary force of Arab prison writing, arguing that prose written from or about prison under authoritarian regimes constitutes a powerful form of resistance against state-sponsored silencing and dehumanization.
