Critical of regimes and nonetheless nostalgic for their home countries, \u003ci\u003eMo(a)t\u003c\/i\u003e is a compendium of stories from six different authors reflecting on the paradoxical demands of our day-to-day lives. Each story is written with the author’s unique style, highlighting their skills in contemporary Arabic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat binds the stories of \u003ci\u003eMo(a)t \u003c\/i\u003etogether is the fact that they are transnational. The stories in this anthology are not centered around a theme, but rather, a concept. Each author lives outside their birth country — whether by choice or exile — yet, as writers, they’ve chosen to continue to express themselves in their mother tongue, rather than in the language of their adopted countries. From South Sudan to the Western Sahara, the authors in this collection reveal the symbiotic relationship between ourselves and our communities, and the freedom to step beyond these boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40946012782689,"sku":"9781913861193","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28451837.jpg?v=1722601865","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781913861193-moat","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
