Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The Arab Mahjar literature was created at the end of XIX and the beginning of XX century by the Arab writers who moved from Middle East to North and South America as a result of a number of socio-political events. Mahjar writers with excellent knowledge of the classic Arab literature and adoption of western civilization and literature in the alien land brought new ideas and new spirit by the poems that they created. Fevzi al-Maluf, George Saydah, Shafiq al-Maluf, Michel al-Maluf, Shukrullah al-Jurr, Rashid Salim al-Khuri were well-known poets of South American Arab mahjar literature. The literary societies “Rivaq-ul Maarri” (Brazil), “Al-Usbat-ul Andalusiya” (Brazil), “Ar-Rabitat-ul-Adabiya” (Argentina) had an objective to develop the Arabic literature in “New World”. Together with male masters of writing in Mahjar literature also worked their female colleagues including such talented authors as Afifa Kerem, Salva Salama Atlas, Maria Yuni Atallah, Nejla Abi al-Lamae Maluf. The Mahjar literature has played an immense role in the development, enrichment of modern Arab literature and its obtaining of the prestigious position in the modern world literature.
