Book Review
Book Review: \Dissident Syria: Making Oppositional Arts Official\
2008
Overview
\"Dissident Syria: Making Oppositional Arts Official,\" by Miriam Cooke, is reviewed (Duke University Press, 2007). The book describes meeting, and recounts conversations with, Syrian political artists and intellectuals during Cooke's residence in Damascus between autumn 1995 and spring 1996. These memories serve as the launching ground for analysis of oppositional films, plays, poetry, novels, and sculpture produced between 1989 and 1996 - the first date marking the end of the Soviet system, and the second marking the point of her direct contact with artists as well as the rise of communication technologies that would undermine Ba'ath control of cultural production.
