CHICAGO: Critically acclaimed novelist Sonallah Ibrahim’s “Warda” is an homage to the Arab political change-makers of the years between the 1950s and 1970s, an era that shaped a region and was concurrently shaped by wars, resistance, independence, and imperialism. Seen through the eyes of Rushdy, an Egyptian political activist turned journalist, and Warda, a young Omani fighter, Ibrahim presents the struggle of the people of the Dhofar region in Oman in their attempt to escape from the grip of impoverishment and colonialism.
