Abstract

This research examines the development of Arabic literature in Sudan from historical and thematic perspectives. Through library research with a descriptive qualitative approach, this study traces the evolution of Sudanese literature from pre-colonial times to the contemporary era. The results show that Sudanese literature is rooted in a rich oral tradition, with poetry as the dominant form of expression. The development of the press in the early 20th century became a catalyst for the growth of modern Sudanese literature. Genres such as short stories and novels developed rapidly, addressing themes of national identity, social criticism, and resistance to authoritarian regimes. Prominent writers such as Tayeb Salih, Ibrahim Ishaq, and Rania Mamoun have made significant contributions in shaping Sudan's literary landscape. This research also reveals that Sudanese literature reflects the country's hybrid identity, combining Arab and African influences. In conclusion, Sudanese Arabic literature has undergone significant transformation, becoming an important medium in expressing socio-political realities and the complex search for national identity

Abstract

This study examines the representation of exile and the loss of “the right to have rights” in Mourid Barghouti’s I Saw Ramallah through Hannah Arendt’s political thought. It argues that exile in the memoir is not merely a condition of geographical displacement but a structural form of political exclusion that deprives Palestinian subjects of homeland, legal recognition, mobility, sovereignty, and social belonging. Using a qualitative method with an interpretive-critical approach, this study analyzes selected narrative fragments, spatial symbols, and textual descriptions related to displacement, statelessness, alienation, restricted movement, and collective trauma. The findings show that Barghouti represents exile as a multidimensional violation of human rights. The Palestinian subject is not only alienated from territory but also separated from the political community that should guarantee fundamental rights. The transformation of homeland into occupied space, the ambiguity of citizenship, the status of the “outcast,” and the denial of return reveal a condition of rightlessness. Through Arendt’s framework, the memoir demonstrates that human rights cannot function effectively without political membership and legal recognition. This study concludes that I Saw Ramallah offers a literary critique of political structures that deny Palestinians the fundamental conditions for possessing and claiming rights.
