Palestinian resistance poetry and its recurring themes from the perspective of Abdel Wahab El-Messiri: A critical approach to the book “Palestinian Was and Still Is”.

Abstract

Egyptian thinker Abdel Wahab El-Messiri committed to supporting the Palestinian cause, and defended it with the weapons of science, knowledge, and reason. With his different encyclopedic thought, he studied the most important issues of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict intellectually, politically, culturally and literary. He also paid attention to the poetry of resistance in his famous book, “Palestinianism Was and Still Is.”

In this study, we seek to analyze the concept of revolutionary poetry and its relationship with resistance from the point of view of the thinker Abdel-Wahab El-Messiri, while clarifying the aesthetics of resistance poetry, and its most prominent and important features. Recurring themes included in his revolutionary poems.
