About this Unit
This is an optional unit within the Arabic major program, which aims to expose students to examples of contemporary Arabic poetry, and to show the political, social and cultural context that this poetry reflects. This will be done through the study of selected poems by modern Arab poets from different Arab countries. This unit will also examine the contribution of emigre Arab poets in Australia and other countries, as well as the Arab song that is often based on poetry.
