Abstract

    Colonialism is considered one of the crises of Arabic culture in its struggle with the international forces colonizing people and human societies. It led to addressing and disturbing this issue within the Arabic narration, including the novels of Saud Al-Sanousi, the subject matter of this research. The novelist presented a subversive vision that examined into the details of the causes and mechanisms of colonialism, and the Arab reactions to it, according to a network of Arab cultural and value structures that seek to achieve self-realization and restore the identity torn apart by colonial domination.
