SUMMARY:Book Talk: Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about Dr. Amir Moosavi’s recently published book Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War. The book is the first comparative study of Arabic and Persian literature from the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). It traces the ways in which writers from both countries have wrestled with state-sponsored narratives of war from 1980 until the present moment\, transforming war literature from propaganda to narratives of resistance against authoritarian regimes\, their legacies\, and their present politics. \nSpeakers: \nAmir Moosavi (Rutgers-Newark) \nFatemeh Shams (University of Pennsylvania) \nKhaled Al Hilli (New York University) \nZahra Ali (Rutgers-Newark)
