Produktinformationen "Memories of Our Future: Selected Essays 1982-1999"
Cultural Writing. As a poet, translator, critic and scholar, Ammiel Alcalay has written for numerous magazines, newspapers and literary journals. In MEMORIES OF OUR FUTURE, the unique intellectual and political path forged by Alcalay over the past fifteen years has now been collected in one volume. Alcalay surveys diverse subjects, among them Mediterranean culture, Arabic literature, the destruction of Carthage, the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict, and the war in Bosnia. Few contemporary intellectuals can boast of as diverse a range of skills and talents as Ammiel Alcalay. His work is cosmopolitan in the best sense: in an epoch of superficial globalism his approach to the cultures he deals with is always rigorous, always meticulously respectful of particularities and differences . . . he is also profoundly alive to the social and political realities that shape cultural production -- Amitav Ghosh.
