The appointment of Mustafa Badawi as Oxford University's first Lecturer in Modern Arabic Literature changed the face of this subject. Badawi's teaching and research showed that Arabic literature was making vibrant contributions to global culture and thought. Part biography, part collection of critical essays, this volume celebrates Badawi's immense contribution to the field and explores his role as a public intellectual in the Arab world and the west. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420580721013,"sku":"9781399565097","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781399565097","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
