Social conflict and power relations play a central role in much of Tayeb Salih's fiction. Michel Foucault's notion of "general" history as well as Edward Said's critique of the Orientalist discourse help elucidate the power relations operative in these conflicts and reveal the many layers and processes underlying them--processes often marginalized by dominant power structures. Salih in his fiction--especially through his use of the fantastic and his employment of folk beliefs and traditions--focuses on the "underside" of traditional history and those individuals and groups whose voices have been silenced.Subjects--Topical Terms:

In Chapter I, the analysis of "The Doum Tree of Wad Hamid" demonstrates how Salih's writings resist marginalization of certain cultures in favor of others. The analysis also reveals how power relations determine outcome and how history has the power to create memorials. The focus in Chapter II is on Salih's use of the fantastic in "A Handful of Dates" and "Doum Tree," particularly on the fantastic's role in interrogating conflicts. In Chapter III, analysis of "The Cypriot Man" examines Salih's manipulation of stereotypes and his concern with giving historical voice to oppressed and marginalized groups. The analysis of Season of Migration to the North in Chapter IV focuses on three of the characters: the narrator, Mustafa Sa'eed, and his spouse Hosna. Figuring in the discussion are (1) Mustafa's relationships with four British women and the structured patterning of these four successive episodes, (2) the narrator's vision of the village and the tension between values represented by his grandfather on the one hand and those represented by Mustafa and Hosna on the other, and (3) Hosna's defiance of village mores and the role her simultaneous murder of her second husband and her own suicide play in exposing a certain power structure which leaves women without a voice in affairs concerning their own destinies. Hosna, it is argued, is a vanguard for a new emerging history. The final chapter examines gender roles and conflict vis-a-vis Zein and Ni'ma in The Wedding of Zein, a story depicting a society that strives to resolve its problems in an ultimately peaceful and harmonious way.
