An aggressive relationship exists between the two cultures that stems from the combination of Hebrew culture's representation of neo-colonial Western culture and the majority-minority relations between Jews and Arabs within Israel. By focusing on specific issues in these intercultural contacts, especially translation activity between the two languages, Hebrew linguistic interference in the Palestinian literature, and Hebrew writings of Palestinian authors, Kayyal reveals the ongoing struggle between the Zionist orientation and the subversive forces that attempt to undermine the Zionist narrative, and to preserve the Palestinian narrative Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-182) and index Notes Print version record Subject Hebrew literature, Modern -- Translations into Arabic Arabic literature -- Translations into Hebrew Translating and interpreting -- Political aspects -- Israel Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects -- Israel Arabic literature Hebrew literature, Modern Translating and interpreting -- Political aspects Translating and interpreting -- Social aspects Israel Genre/Form Translations Form Electronic book ISBN 9789004332263 900433226X 9004332251 9789004332256
