صورة اليهود في الرواية السيرية "حنة" لمحمد الباردي

Abstract EN

Anyone who studies the modern Arabic novel will notice an abandonment of dealing with Jews, except infrequently, despite the integration of this element into the social fabric in many Arab regions.

Perhaps that is due to the fact that their image at the time, was not a significant topic that stimulated the motives of writing about them.

With the transformations, which served the Jews, a group of Arab writers rushed towards this newly fabricated image of them.

Therefore, this reluctance turned into a celebration as their pens invoked the mention of their humanity.

as was evident in the novel “Hanna" by Muhammad Al-Bardi This study seeks through the cultural approach to examine the image of the Jews.

so What is the writer's intention of polishing the image of the Jews? What are the justifications for that openness and what are its limits?
