Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution

Ian Campbell, Ph.D. (2003), Emory University, is Assistant Professor of Arabic at Georgia State University. He has published articles and book chapters on the Arabic-language Moroccan novel and administers a YouTube channel for intermediate Arabic students, Arabic Grammar Unpacked.

Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution is an original contribution to the field of Moroccan literary studies. It is particularly useful for students and scholars of modern Arabic literature, postcolonial literature, and specifically Moroccan history and literature. I recommend the book to these audiences as it will provide a window into the core tensions of postcolonial Morocco that persist to this day, understood through the lens of space. Given the relative paucity of scholarship focused on the Arabic-language Moroccan novel, Labyrinths, Intellectuals and the Revolution offers a highly and original and elucidating approach to a set of often-neglected texts.
