英文摘要This paper constructs the story of Ni?ma, a Sudanese or Nubian slave in BahaMODIFIER LETTER RIGHT HALF RING Tahir's Wahat al-ghurub (2006; Sunset Oasis 2009). Set in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Egypt, the novel revisits the 1881-1882 Urabi Revolution and the subsequent British invasion. Through the male protagonist, Mahmud ?Abd al-x1e92;ahir and his relationship with Ni?ma, his concubine, Wahat al-ghurub re-evaluates Egypt's nationalist rhetoric. Made to represent an essence of Egypt, Ni?ma is denied her history and memory except as an exotic, jasmine-scented Scheherazade whose folktales captivate Mahmud, and whose sexuality satiates him. I argue that despite the absence of her voice Ni?ma shows agency mainly through casting herself as an active storyteller and additionally through her decisions to stay with her masters after their bankruptcy, and later to leave the house when she realizes that Mahmud sees her as a commodity.
