It is shown that in the first decade of the State of Israel, Arabic stories were written in Israel in which Jews were described with proper names and personal characteristics; but as more time passed, the descriptions of Israeli Jewish society faded. If a Jew appeared in stories of the 1960s and 1970s, he generally functioned as a symbol or an allegorical element, and in any case lacked distinctive traits. This essay concentrates on the narrative works of Israeli Arab authors residing in Haifa and Galilee. (DÜI-Hns)

Zaynab Fawwaz (d. 1914) emerged from an obscure childhood in the Shi'I community of Jabal 'Amil (now Lebanon) to become a recognised writer on women's and girls' aspirations and rights in 1890s Egypt. This book insists on the centrality of gender as a marker of social difference to the Arabic knowledge movement then, or Nahda. Fawwaz published essays and engaged in debates in the Egyptian and Ottoman-Arabic press, published two novels, and the first play known to have been composed in Arabic by a female writer. This book assesses her unusual life history and political engagements, including her work late in life as an informant for the Egyptian khedive.

This book provides a clear and authoritative introduction to the emerging Arab media industries in the context of globalization and its impacts, with a focus on publishing, press, broadcasting, cinema and new media. Through detailed discussions of the regulation and economics of these industries, the authors argue that the political, technological and cultural changes on the global media scene have resulted in the reorganization of the Arab media field. They provide striking examples of this through the particular effects on media policies, media technology and the content and genres developed
