- Double-weighted statement
- This 250,000-word collection of 24 chapters, one sole-authored by Ball, two co-authored by Ball and all co-edited by Ball, is the product of six years’ sustained research designed to identify an original postcolonial approach to the study of Middle Eastern culture by identifying and generating collaborative work with 23 leading experts working transnationally (US, Middle East, Australia, UK) and with sources in multiple languages (English, Arabic, French, Farsi, Turkish). It was designed as a complex and extended study to establish new intersections between postcolonial and Middle Eastern studies.

- Additional information
- This 250,000-word volume is the first collection of scholarly essays to explore the relationship between postcolonial studies and ‘the Middle East’, and to define the concept of a ‘postcolonial Middle East’. Comprised of 24 essays, it includes original work commissioned from some of the world’s leading postcolonial and Middle Eastern Studies scholars across the US, UK and Middle East. Ball and her co-editor initiated the volume and developed the project over the course of six years. As well as overseeing the volume from proposal to publication, Ball co-authored the 11,000-word Introduction and the Afterword; completed an interview with author Ahdaf Soueif (pp. 57-66); and authored one of the essays (12,000 words; pp. 446-468).
