Albawtaka Review in the media: http://albawtaka.com/press.htm
Albawtaka Review is an Arabic independent (non-governmental) non-profit online quarterly concerned with translating English short fiction. Edited and designed by me, Egyptian translator Hala Salah Eldin Hussein, the review is the only print/online periodical dedicated to methodically and systematically introducing contemporary English fiction and the world's diversified cultures to the Arabic literati. It was first published in Tanta, a small city in the middle of the Nile Delta of Egypt then found its way to Cairo, Egypt. The review has been funded by its editor, except when she received a grant from The Arab Fund for Arts & Culture to publish six online issues and print three anthologies of short fiction. Books titled Sharp Senses: First Book of Albawtaka, Ghosts With No Maps: Second Book of Albawtaka, and Hidden Faces: Third Book of Albawtaka have been the fruits of this cooperation. Albawtaka Review has been launched in April 2006 as a monthly review then turned into a quarterly starting from July 2007. It has published thirty-two issues presenting the biographies of seventy-four English-speaking writers and the translated texts of eighty-six English stories. In addition to showcasing celebrated authors, Albawtaka Review introduces the Arabic reader to authors he/she may have never encountered before, but who are weaving innovative short fiction, unveiling the power of tolerance and acceptance. In these times of turmoil and cultural rejections, Arab publishing houses and reviews have unfortunately been inattentive to translating contemporary English short fiction into Arabic. To my knowledge, the review is the first publication to translate all the shorts stories published in the review into Arabic. And apart from Paul Bowles and Kazuo Ishiguro, I am the first to translate any works for all other writers into Arabic. Albawtaka Review's contributors have won the Noble prize, Man Booker Prize, Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, PEN/Faulkner Award, Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Award, Caine Prize for African Writing, National Canadian Magazine Award, National Book Critics Circle Award and Flannery O’Connor Award for short fiction, among other honors. And along with translating outstanding pieces of short fiction into impeccable Arabic language, Albawtaka Review sets another standard for the art of biography shedding light on the life histories and cultures of each of the writers being tackled. Albawtaka Review’s biographies are thoroughly informative as well as critical. Albawtaka Review depends on some of the most prestigious anthologies of English short fiction such as The Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Prize Stories, New Stories from the South, and The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses as well as some of the highly respectable reviews published in the world such as The New Yorker, Ploughshares, Timothy McSweeney's, Granta, Kwani, The Walrus, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Magazine, Zoetrope: All-Story, StoryQuarterly, The Yale Review, Harvard Review, Callaloo, Other Voices, The Virginia Quarterly Review, and The Missouri Review. Albawtaka is an Arabic word meaning The Crucible, and translating literature is much like putting two precious metals into one pot and melting them to reach a new form of rareness and understanding. Arab readers see the life of others from different perspectives; they have been melted by the heat of prejudice then re-shaped to get bird's eye view at the world, free of any judgment. Albawtaka Review’s goal is to present a panoramic view of contemporary English literature - no one style is advocated over another. But I generally like a story to tell me something unprecedented about humanity, to share with me feelings identified by all people, raw sensations that have not witnessed sophistication. I'm especially interested in works that take on humane issues by making the invisible seen, that give voice to the voiceless - works that impart message form through aesthetic experience. Writers’ colors, religions, gender and ethnicities do not determine my choices in any way. Albawtaka Review does not and will not adopt any political agendas whatsoever. The review advocates a liberal approach towards literature, life and the world. It strongly believes in sexual and religious freedom. It stands by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender's humane rights, stressing on creating, through fiction, a world of equality and respect. It also thinks that religion, as a personal choice, should not be imposed or used as am empowering tool or for political purposes. Albawtaka Review has brought out talents representative of the whole world that might have laid hidden from the Arabic scene for long years to come, and revealed the bright side of the world's varied communities previously distorted by political clashes between Arab societies and the other. According to critics, the review has become an "intercultural institution," a gate in which Arabs can peer into the hopes and frustrations of the other. From its early issues, the review has proven that our flawed notions of non-Arabs can be altered. Readers can now identify and sympathize with other citizens of the world, recognizing them as human beings soliciting acceptance and integration to be finally regaining life and openness or crushed with the same tool that could crush us all, ignorance. Albawtaka Review has presented various cultures, religions, and ethnic groups that met to coexist side by side, in the framework of language. Fortunate to be a free publication rendering literature into Arabic for more than five years, Albawtaka Review's stories shed light on voices from America, Canada, Japan, India, China, Bosnia, Haiti, Ireland, Korea, Zimbabwe, Ukraine, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Cambodia, Romania, South Africa, Israel, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Wales, Ghana, and England. The review didn’t overlook stories written by gifted Afro-Americans, Native Americans and Hawaiians, proving that even the American nation is widely multifarious. There is a whole world unfolding from these stories, exposing the face of a planet so rich it is able to contain all these backgrounds. The review tells a mosaic tale of shared humanity, of common ground, mutual joys and sorrows, initial curiosity then predestined discovery. It has explored some of the ways in which literature can unite people and provide them all with keen insight into each others lives. One of the main reasons for cultural clashes is the belief that the other is different, his behaviors unfamiliar and undecipherable, thus ominously unreachable. Translating literature has revealed the falsehood of this conviction, exposing that what unites us is actually more than what separates us apart. Vagueness always leads to hostility, as it impedes grasping the motives of others. Reading a foreign story is, in fact, an intercultural encounter. It requires both affective and emotional engagement, shedding all fears of preconceived stereotypes and exoticism. Therefore, developing the habit of dialoguing with a translated text seems a promising, inevitable alternative to historical and political jargon. It's my belief that irresponsible politics have metamorphosed our world into segregated communities, loosely bound together by mutual benightedness and stereotypes. Only getting to know others through literature and art can result in a vibrant world without discrimination, benefiting us all, marked by the inclusion of all human beings in full respect of their rights. The review's readers come out with the realization that Americans, Europeans, Canadians, Asians, black Africans, and Arabs are one and the same, they only come in different outfits and colors. Therefore, nothing can plant sympathy and forbearance in our hearts and teach us to appreciate tolerance like identifying with the loss and agony of characters, albeit fictional, speaking a totally different language. I believe that the Arabs' relationship with other communities needs a special healing, risky projects that could somehow tone down the heated conflict. Politics have failed, and will continue to fail -- unless accompanied by a cultural movement that doesn’t hit Arabs in the face with blunt orders and political lectures. Everything seems totally hopeless if that precondition of an open-ended dialogue cannot be fulfilled in a subtle indirect manner, through which Arabs can be open to ideas they don't generally accept, like unconditional human rights, eroticism and physical freedom, LGBT rights, and religious freedom. I have come to this realization when all political solutions proved insufficient because the real reason for the pain remains largely ignored: Arabs don’t know about other societies. Fiction encompasses identity, existence, language, and visions, since this kind of understanding frees a liberal space in the mind and therefore allows for a new form of mediation between the self and the world without loss of face. That freedom from judgment is vital. When Arabs are aware of the complexities and diversities of the world and accept the interpretation which goes with this fact, they will be enlightened and soon run out to join the others again. The inner and outer self is then reconnected and communication with the world is possible again. Thus, being a channel of communication, translation has actually turned into a key factor as far as intercultural dialogue is concerned.
