A master's thesis at the University of Basra examines a critical study of Shawqi Deif's book on the history of Arabic literature up to the seventh century 

A master's thesis at the University of Basra's Qurna College of Education examined a critical study of Shawqi Deif's book in the history of Arabic literature until the seventh century AH - a study in the light of critical discourse analysis. 

The thesis, submitted by student Raya Nehmeh Kazim, aimed to show that the first function behind the discourse of education is not limited to reporting, or transmitting news and information, but rather to bring about social change, by influencing and modifying attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. 

The thesis included the importance of analyzing the literature written about Arab and Islamic history, according to the procedures of critical discourse analysis, to reveal those biases and hidden aspects, and the ideological, political, sectarian, or cultural goals they seek, especially in the literature that was intended to be educational curricula.
