SWANA Writing

We've curated a bundle of four issues that showcase a range of writing from across the SWANA region.

Alongside Wasafiri 122: The UAE Issue – which explores the United Arab Emirates’ literary and creative scene away from monolithic representations of the region – the bundle features writing from Robin Yassin-Kassab, essays on Abbas Kiarostami and Leila Aboulela, a special issue on Palestine, and an issue dedicated to writing that reflects creatively and critically on Islamic literary culture, through the lens of libraries of Islamicate empires.
