Includes bibliographical references and index.
A Palestinian-Israeli poet declares a new state whose language, 'Homelandic,' is a combination of Arabic and Hebrew. A Jewish-Israeli author imagines a 'language plague' that infects young Hebrew speakers with old world accents, and sends the narrator in search of his Arabic heritage. This work brings together such startling visions to offer an in-depth study of the relationship between Hebrew and Arabic in the literature and culture of Israel/Palestine.
