Reviews
""It is a valuable read for scholars of translation studies, Arabic literature (especially Iraqi women’s literature), and women and gender studies—among others. In short, Abou Rached is on the pulse of contemporary Iraqi women’s writing in translation and achieves the purpose she has set out for: to provide a focused overview and encourage further research."" - International Journal of Middle East Studies ""... this incisive study sets an excellent example of the productive ways “para/translatory politics” can be engaged with in literary studies. Its prioritization of close readings is particularly commendable, guiding readers through the mechanics and challenges of translation in forensic detail. As it lingers in these intricacies, it offers a much-needed intervention when a growing number of texts by Iraqi authors are circulating in translation."" - Middle Eastern Literatures
