Both the act of translation and bilingualism are steeped in a tension between surrender and conquest, yielding conscious and unconscious effects on language. First published in Arabic in 2002, ""Abdelfattah Kilito's Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language"" explores the tension between dynamics of literary influence and canon formation within the Arabic literary tradition.
