| dc.description.abstract | Abstract This dissertation examines the manifestations of conflict between the Islamic world and the Western world in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in The Tangerine Scarf under the lens of Samuel. P Huntington’s “the clash of civilizations?” theory. This semi-biographical novel provides the opportunity for many distant communities to witness the suffering of Muslim refugees and immigrants. The novel is a good model to highlight that difference and the intolerance and rebellion that accompanies it. It clearly highlights the terrible rift between Islam and the West by following the journey of the heroine Khadra Shamy, with an Islamic Syrian origin, customs, values, and identity in spite of the claims of rapprochement between the East and the West. Despite the fact that she went out to that Western world and wanted to be a part of it, it turns out that it does not accept her with her origins and beliefsthen forces her to face an internal conflict that was a picture of the clash of civilizations. The study also analyzes the transcendent view that characterizes the West, the blinded western view of otherness and their distorted stereotypical view of Islam, using the descriptive analytical method in a scientific manner employing the theory of the clash of civilizations and analyzing the psychology of the protagonist of the novel, as well as the social, political, and psychological situation of immigrants being strangers where they live using the theory of historical trauma. | en_US |
