Arabic speculative fiction is speculative fiction written by Arabic authors that commonly portrays themes of repression, cyclical violence, and the concept of a utopia long lost by years of destruction.[1] Arabic-American speculative fiction is portrayed through the involvement of the United States in the country-specific subgenres of Arabic speculative fiction. Country specific subgenres have their own distinct themes from one another characterized by the experiences of those within their respective countries, such as settler-occupation in Palestinian speculative fiction, and militant governments in Egyptian speculative fiction.[2][3]
