Modern Arabic literature is deeply indebted to journalism, particularly to independent and frequently dissident journals, many of which are driven underground by politics and the attendant censorship. Through avant-garde theory and Bourdieu's theory of fields Kendall (Arabic and Turkish, Edinburgh U.) analyzes modern innovation Egyptian literature as an outcome of a tradition set by journalism from the "sixties generation" onward. She focuses on the pivotal role of the journal Gallery 68 but works through a variety of sources, covering the emergence and development of literary journalism in Egypt and its increasing politicization, the theoretical basis of the avant-garde in 1960s Egypt, the politics of literature at the time and the search for a specific literary identity, and the establishment of new paradigms in the 1970s and beyond.
