ABOUT
Maru Pabón is an assistant professor of Comparative Literature at Brown University. Her current research attends to anticolonial poetics across Palestine, Cuba, and Algeria with a focus on the politics of representation that undergird attempts to reproduce the “voice of the people” during the height of the Third World project. Other interests include the history of Arabic poetry and poetics, Marxism and Marxist aesthetics, literary dialects and creoles, forms of cultural exchange between the Arab world and Latin America, Arab diasporic literature from the Americas, and translation. Along with Laure Guirguis, she is the editor of Art and Politics Between the Arab World and Latin America, forthcoming with Brill in Spring 2025.
