"Djelal Kadir ranges with remarkable confidence and sureness of step across several continents and several centuries, offering a bracing challenge to Comparative Literature to rethink its history, its politics, and its future. Exceptionally original in conception, innovative in argumentation, and eloquent in style, Memos from the Besieged City takes on a moral urgency in addressing itself to an age of homeland insecurity and projections of power abroad, revealing an all too close linkage between American comparatism and a hegemonic hubris that academics may share even as they seek to oppose it."-David Damrosch, Harvard University, "Djelal Kadir ranges with remarkable confidence and sureness of step across several continents and several centuries, offering a bracing challenge to Comparative Literature to rethink its history, its politics, and its future.

Synopsis
This is a historical and critical reassessment of the field of comparative literature--the study of cultures and their literary posterity across national borders and historical frontiers--at a moment when notions of literacy and culture are under inordinate pressure by predatory globalization and militaristic realpolitik., Memos from the Besieged City argues for the institutional and cultural relevance of literary study through foundational figures, from the 1200s to today, who defied precarious circumstances to make significant contributions to literacy and civilization in the face of infelicitous human acts. Focusing on historically vital crossroads--Baghdad, Florence, Byzantium, Istanbul, Rome, Paris, New York, Mexico City, Jerusalem, Beijing, Stockholm, Warsaw--Kadir looks at how unconventional and nonconformist writings define literacy, culture, and intellectual commitment. Inspired by political refugee and literary scholar Erich Auerbach's path-breaking Mimesis , and informed by late twentieth-century ideological and methodological upheavals, the book reflects on literacy and dissidence at a moment when literary disciplines, canons, and theories are being reassessed under the pressure of globalization and transculturation. At the forefront of an ethical turn in the comparative analysis of cultures and their literary legacies, it reminds us of the best humanity can produce.
