| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses the situation of the Arab Muslim woman in western society. It discusses identity formation amid the complex interplay of Arabness, This current investigation seeks to analyze these issues and characterization in Fakir’s novel My Name is Salma in order to find out how identity is formed by a Muslim subject in a postcolonial Western context. This research enriches our understanding of the concept of Arab identity and the Diaspora and how the experience of immigration impacts identity formation for an Arab Muslim woman in a postcolonial Western environment. In this study, Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism describes the West’s depictions and portrayal of the “East‟, and Homi K. Bhabha’s theories of “ambivalence”, “mimicry”, “hybridity‟ and “the third space‟ were applied to analyze the identity-making process in Fakir’s novel My Name is Salma. The findings of this study reveal that a Muslim character living in the West will form for them a hybrid identity that encompasses both their Muslim heritage and that of the modern, secular culture of the West –like Salma does upon her moving to Britain, all this was creatively revealed in Fadia Fakir’s writing. | en_US |
