Tahia Abdel Nasser is Assistant Professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at the American University in Cairo. She has published in Comparative Literature Studies, Yearbook of Comparative Literature, Alif: Journal of Contemporary Poetics, Journal of Arabic Literature, Dictionary of African Biography (2011), Mahmoud Darwish: The Adam of Two Edens (2001) and The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology (2001).

Clearly, Literary Autobiography and Arab National Struggles constitutes a significant intervention in Arab and autobiographical studies. The original contribution of Nasser’s monograph is not limited to providing a fresh perspective on an “embargoed” genre from the Arab region, to use a Saidian term. An equally significant quality of Nasser’s study lies in her comparative approach through which she draws from the literary traditions of the Global South to analyze Arab literary autobiographical narratives.'
