Code-Switching in Transnational Anglophone Arab Fiction

Offers a new method for evaluating the guises and functions of visible and invisible code-switching in 21st-century literary works.
Responding to calls for renewed investigations into narrative multilingualism, Syrine Hout explores code-switching in contemporary Anglophone Arab literature as a multifaceted phenomenon that can conceal as much as it reveals to monolingual readers. Through analyses of six diasporic novels published across three continents, this book argues that creative writing itself can offer more nuanced and accurate understandings of code-switching, advocating a qualitative rather than quantitative approach to mapping the additional semantic dimensions of multilingualism in transnational Anglophone fiction.
