| dc.description.abstract | Women occupy different positions in the minds of writers as portrayed by the norms and values of the society. However, Arabic Novel writers in Nigeria pay little or no attention to women and issues that concern them in their works. Therefore this paper focuses on women and their socio-cultural norms and value in the Northern Nigeria environment as expressed in an Arabic novel Limadha Yakrahunana (Why do they hate us) written by Salisu Mai-Ungwar (1986). It also tries to justify some of the roles played by different women characters especially as relate to the Northern Nigerian culture. To achieve these, the paper is sub-divided into topics namely: Introduction, Arabic Novels in Nigeria, Review of the Novel, Northern Nigerian Norms and traditions, Overview of Feminist Themes and the Conclusion. The paper is expected to encourage Arabic novel writers to give prominence and importance in discussing women issues especially in Northern Nigeria and to serve as impetus to the development of Northern Nigerian literature. | |
