Orientalism and The Season of Migration to the North

Introduction

One of the most contentious and well-liked Arabic narratives of the 20th century, Season of Migration to the North, is fundamentally perceived as a spectacular scrutiny of regal government, in which a chronicler becomes conscious the threat of turning out to be a Europeanized Arab who desires to inflict retaliation on the North/West for his Orientalization.

Most reviewers and columnists of Tayeb Salih's work of fiction as expected stress on its regal affairs of state, from Mustafa Saeed's acceptance of an Oriental personality to his subjugation of Englishwomen consecutively to take revenge the manners in which the South/East has been infiltrated and infatuated by the North/West.

Even though Orientalism is the manuscript which more than any other has covered Said's standing, it is the compilation of speculative compositions.

By representing and depicting the east as ethnically and rationally substandard, the west was simultaneously competent to put up an illustration of western dominance.

These contrasting illustrations and demonstrations of East and ...
