| dc.description | Twentieth century was the century of colonization and decolonization in the Arabic states. In this anticolonial era, the century witnessed the birth of the novel as a new literary genre. Literature plays a significant role in Arab's quest for liberty and independence as it participates in educating people and warning them of colonization risks. It depicts the journey of resistance and freedom. The struggle for liberation in this region over which the Western powers sought socio-economic control and cultural domination has produced a significant corpus of literary writing. The study aims to examine the forms of colonial oppression and the representations of resistance modes to the oppression forms. It also attempts to investigate the particularities of Arabic resistance and produce a taxonomy that details the modes of resistance. The research corpus comprises of three novels, Napoleon in Al-Azhar by Najeeb Al-Kailani, Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa and Al-Laz by Al-Tahir Wattar with the settings in Egypt, Palestine, and Algeria respectively. The framework of analysis is conceptualized by drawing together the concepts of violent resistance proposed by Frantz Fanon, cultural resistance advanced by Edward Said and the nonviolent resistance embraced by Mahatma Gandhi. The methodology of the study focuses on the categorization of narrative elements in the texts into contexts of oppression and resistance. Various forms of colonial oppression and modes of resistance were examined in the analysis of the texts to determine the manifestations of each form and mode. The findings revealed that oppression can be categorized into two forms: violent and cultural. The findings also enabled the construction of a taxonomy of resistance that constitutes four modes: violent, cultural, awakening, and nonviolent. However, the analysis shows that not all modes of resistance are manifested equally in the texts as some modes of resistance, namely violent and cultural resistance, are more dominant than others. In conclusion, the study produces a taxonomy of resistance modes which could serve as a framework for reading resistance literature. The conclusion of this study is significant as examining and illustrating the particularities of resistance in Arabic novel contributes to the scholarship on Arabic literature.,Ph.D. | - |
