Abstract

The sociopolitical realities in the Arab World and their relationship with the United States require that Arab professors of American literature at Arab Universities revise their syllabi and textbooks so that they do not serve the American hegemony on the Arab World. The researcher calls for preparing an anthology of American literature that responds to the national aspirations of Arab students without compromising quality or the inclusiveness of the American canon. The anthology that the researcher envisions is that which would include the giants of American literature along with a significant representation of ethnicity and gender; it would introduce American literature to students in an authentic and critical manner that revises the standing canon in favor of reconstructing a canon that is more relevant to Arab students in Arab universities and that prepares them to be citizens of the world.

الملخص

تستدعي الوقائع السياسية والاجتماعية في العالم العربي وعلاقتها بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية من أساتذة الأدب الأمريكي في الجامعات العربية مراجعة خططهم الدراسية ومقرراتهم التعليمية بحيث لا تخدم الهيمنة الأمريكية على العالم العربي. يدعو الباحث في هذه الدراسة إلى اعداد انثولوجيا للأدب الأمريكي بحيث تستجيب للطموحات الوطنية للطلبة العرب دون المساس بالجودة أو الشمولية لمنهاج الأدب الأمريكي المعروف. الأنثولوجيا التي ينشدها الباحث تحتوي على عمالقة الأدب الأمريكي إلى جانب تمثيل للعرقيات والنوع الاجتماعي. ويمكن أن تقدم هذه الأنثولوجيا الأدب الأمريكي بثوب حقيقي وناقد، يقوم بتقويض المنهاج المتداول بغرض إعداد منهاج اخر يكون أكثر تمثيلا للمتطلبات الثقافية، لطلبة الأدب الأمريكي في الجامعات العربية، ناشدا بذلك اعدادهم لمتطلبات المواطنة العالمية.
