The Aesthetics of the Oppressed: Oil and Capitalism in Abdelrahman Munif's Cities of Salt
Abstract:This essay examines Abdelrahman Munif's Cities of Salt and its realist representation of the Arabian Peninsula'smassive transformation after the advent of oil. Deploying a Lukácsian materialist analysis attuned to literary and historical development, this essay shows—through asking fundamental questions regarding the relationship between literary production, oil, and global capitalism—how Munif is situated within the postcolonial alternative tradition. By delineating what can be described as an aesthetics of the oppressed, this essay offers a unique perspective on crucial issues such as labor exploitation, individual alienation, social inequality, and urban deprivation.
