- A ground-breaking book written by the eminent Lacanian
psychoanalyst Moustapha Safouan
- Rejects explanations of Arab despotism which appeal either to
imperialism or to notions of Arab culture in favour of an analysis
which focuses on the relations between writing and power
- Investigates the divorce between the classical Arabic which is
the medium of education and the diverse vernacular Arabics which
are the languages of the streets
- A tour de force of political philosophy, religious argument and linguistic history
