This monograph explores and investigates narratives of physical, psychological, and emotional dislocation that take place within the Arab world, approaching them as manifestations of the Arabic word ghurba, or estrangement, as a feeling and state of being.Distancing itself from the centrality of the “West” in postcolonial and Arabic literary studies, the book explores experiences of migration, displacement and cosmopolitanism that do not directly ensue from the encounter with Europe or the European other. Covering texts from the Levant, Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula and beyond from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, the book grounds narratives of dislocation in the political, social and cultural structures that affect the everyday lived experiences of individuals and communities.An analysis of Arabic, Turkish and English texts – encompassing fiction, memoirs and translations – highlights less visible narratives of ghurba, specifically amongst ethnic minorities and religious communities. Ultimately, the chapters contribute to a picture of the Arab world as a place of ghurba where mobile and immobile subjects, foreigners and local inhabitants alike, encounter alienation.Bringing together a diverse range of academic perspectives, the book will be of interest to students and scholars in postcolonial and comparative literary studies, history, and Arabic and Middle East studies.

Arab migration to the Gulf unfurled in the midst of manifold political and economic changes and had crucial social ramifications all over the Arab world. Through the examination of a selection of Arabic migration narratives set from the 1970s onwards, this monograph asks: how have Arab writers responded to this phenomenon and what are the thematic and formal characteristics of literary attempts to represent the rarely acknowledged and complex affects that have been generated in subjective experiences of Gulf migration?By foregrounding centre–periphery dynamics within the Arab world, the analysis decentres the emphasis on the encounter with the ‘West’ in scholarship on migration in Arab literature and culture. It challenges prevailing discourses on the Gulf and demonstrates the role of fiction in nuancing essentialist images of a uniform Gulf migrant experience.
