Gomaa, Dalia M.A.

The Non-National in Contemporary American LiteratureEthnic Women Writers and Problematic Belongings /[electronic resource] :by Dalia M.A. Gomaa. - 1st ed. 2016. - XII, 195 p.online resource. - American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,2634-579X. - American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,.

This study examines contemporary narratives by Arab-American, South-Asian American, Chicana, and Cuban-American women writers. Gomaa argues that the disparate histories of Arabs, South Asians, Chicanas, and Cubans in the U.S. unfold new non-national sites for affiliations and identifications that unsettle notions of a unified American national space. In each chapter a South-Asian American, Chicana, or Cuban-American text is paired with an Arab-American text to examine sites of ambivalence, which problematize an individual's sense of belonging to an "imagined community." The author proposes a redefinition of imagined communities to imagined transnational communities, which are formed beyond the geographical boundaries of a single nation and are not nation-centered. This study values Arab-American writings as a potential terrain to expand American Studies, and calls attention to Arab-American feminist strategies that contribute to theoretical debates by and about American women writers.
