dc.description.abstractThe research entitled, “Religion, Politics and the Revolutionary Impulse in African-Arabic Drama. A Study of Tewfiq Al-Hakim’s The Sultan’s Dilemma and Fate of a Cockroach” explores the complexity of the mix of religion and politics from the Afro-Arabian experience and roots out the existential problems which the Afro-Arabian mind has been squashed, hence, stimulating the peoples to demand for change, self-determination and freedom from constituted potentates either by way of mass or popular protests or by revolution. The two dramas of Tewfiq Al-Hakim mentioned above feed the needs of this research and captures, to a large degree, issues concerning the popular protests in the Afro-Arabian world which the dramatist points out and resolves in his two dramas yet remains unexplored despite their lushness. One of the nucleuses of drama is to conscientize and this research observes that Tewfiq al-Hakim’s theatre offers a way out of the issues and dilemma of the Arabian world by addressing key subjects such as religion, race, politics, gender, power imbalances, revolution; time and place. Apart from the Africanness or Arabness or context of which the research perceives these issues, The Sultan’s Dilemma and Fate of a Cockroach address these complexities as universal questions using the interpretative theory of understanding as a means of conceiving these issues.en_US
