The Non-National in Contemporary American Literature (eBook, PDF)

Ethnic Women Writers and Problematic Belongings

Beschreibung

In this wide-ranging study, Gomma examines contemporary migrant narratives by Arab-American, Chicana, Indian-American, Pakistani-American, and Cuban-American women writers. Concepts such as national consciousness, time, space, and belonging are scrutinized through the "non-national" experience, unsettling notions of a unified America.

Rezensionen

"The book proposes the concept of 'imagined transnational communities' and positions Arab American literature as a field that can broaden, deepen, and complicate the meaning of Americanness. Gomaa's study will be of particular relevance to scholars of multiethnic studies, American studies, Arab American studies, and women's studies." (American Literature, Vol. 89 (3), September, 2017)
