Product Description: These chapters gathered from two special issues of the journal Life Writing take up a major theme of recent work in the Humanities: Trauma. Autobiography has had a major role to play in this âage of traumaâ, and these essays turn to diverse contexts that have received little attention to date: partition narratives in India, Cambodian and Iranian rap, refugee letters from Nauru, graffiti in Tanzania, and the silent spaces of trauma in Chile and Guantanamo...read more

Azar Nafisiâs Reading Lolita in Tehran,Marjane Satrapiâs comics, and âBaghdad Bloggerâ Salam Paxâs Internet diary are just a few examples of the new face of autobiography in an age of migration, globalization, and terror. But while autobiography and other genres of life writing can help us attend to people whose experiences are frequently unseen and unheard, life narratives can also be easily co-opted into propaganda. In Soft Weapons, Gillian Whitlock explores the dynamism and ubiquity of contemporary life writing about the Middle East and shows how these works have been packaged, promoted, and enlisted in Western controversies.Considering recent autoethnographies of Afghan women, refugee testimony from Middle Eastern war zones, Jean Sassonâs bestsellers about the lives of Arab women, Norma Khouriâs fraudulent memoir Honor Lost, personal accounts by journalists reporting the war in Iraq, Satrapiâs Persepolis, Nafisiâs book, and Paxâs blog, Whitlock explores the contradictions and ambiguities in the rapid commodification of life memoirs. Drawing from the fields of literary and cultural studies, Soft Weapons will be essential reading for scholars of life writing and those interested in the exchange of literary culture between Islam and the West.
