Abstract

The article illuminates a transnational Arab network of avant-garde literary production that corresponded with, translated, and published each other's work in Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and the U.S. It mentions cross-revolutionary writing among Arab writers who, after the 1967 War, looked to Vietnam as an anti-imperialist revolutionary; and also mentions model of literary production and revolutionary vision that was distinct from and critical of movements' solidarity politics.
