在现代阿拉伯文学史上,侨民文学(又称叙美派文学)占有特殊的地位。19世纪末,大批阿拉伯人不堪忍受奥斯曼帝国的暴虐统治,飘洋过海,移居美洲谋生。侨民中一些富有理想的青年知识分子,在异国他乡办起报刊杂志,写文撰稿,发表自己的作品,风格上标新立异,文采上独树一帜。 In the history of modern Arabic literature, diaspora literature (also known as the American literature) occupies a special position. At the end of the 19th century, large numbers of Arabs were intolerant of the tyranny of the Ottoman Empire and migrated to the Americas to earn a living. Some elite young intellectuals in the diaspora run newspapers and magazines, wrote articles and write their own works in foreign countries and published their works in a unique and unconventional style.
