Wed, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Edited by Adam Talib, Marlé Hammond, and Arie Schippers.

This volume collects eighteen essays on all facets of obscenity in classical and modern Arabic literature to celebrate the career of Geert Jan van Gelder, FBA, Laudian Professor of Arabic. The editor’s contribution is entitled “Caricature and obscenity in mujūn poetry and African-American women’s hip-hop,” comparing modes of caricatured obscenity across both genres to demonstrate their parodic and camp orientation.
