Yet, increased interest in this literature is ironically paralleled by a prevalent bias against Arabs and Muslims that portrays their long presence in the US as a recent and unwelcome phenomenon. Spanning the 1990s to the present, Carol Fadda-Conrey takes in the sweep of literary and cultural texts by Arab-American writers in order to understand the ways in which their depictions of Arab homelands, whether actual or imagined, play a crucial role in shaping cultural articulations of US citizenship and belonging. By asserting themselves within a US framework while maintaining connections to their homelands, Arab-Americans contest the blanket representations of themselves as dictated by the US nation-state.Deploying a multidisciplinary framework at the intersection of Middle-Eastern studies, US ethnic studies, and diaspora studies, Fadda-Conrey argues for a transnational discourse that overturns the often rigid affiliations embedded in ethnic labels. Tracing the shifts in transnational perspectives, from the founders of Arab-American literature, like Gibran Kahlil Gibran and Ameen Rihani, to modern writers such as Naomi Shihab Nye, Joseph Geha, Randa Jarrar, and Suheir Hammad, Fadda-Conrey finds that contemporary Arab-American writers depict strong yet complex attachments to the US landscape. She explores how the idea of home is negotiated between immigrant parents and subsequent generations, alongside analyses of texts that work toward fostering more nuanced understandings of Arab and Muslim identities in the wake of post-9/11 anti-Arab sentiments. 410 0$aAmerican Literatures Initiative 606 $a20e sie?cle (2e moitie?)-21e sie?cle (de?but)$2rero 606 $aIdentite? collective$2rero 606 $aE?crivains arabes$2rero 606 $aE?crivains appartenant a? des minorite?s$2rero 606 $aAmericains d'origine arabe$xIdentite collective$2ram 606 $aAmericains d'origine arabe$xDans la litterature$2ram 606 $aArabes$xDans la litterature$2ram 606 $aLitterature americaine$xAuteurs appartenant a? des minorites$xHistoire et critique$2ram 606 $aLiterature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00999953 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00966910 606 $aHomeland in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01896061 606 $aArabs in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00812609 606 $aArab Americans in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00812211 606 $aAmerican literature$xArab American authors$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00807122 606 $aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00805273 606 $aArabs in literature 606 $aArab Americans in literature 606 $aHomeland in literature 606 $aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$xArab American authors$xHistory and criticism 607 $aArab countries$2fast 607 $aArab countries$xIn literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 7$a20e sie?cle (2e moitie?)-21e sie?cle (de?but) 615 7$aIdentite? collective. 615 7$aE?crivains arabes. 615 7$aE?crivains appartenant a? des minorite?s. 615 7$aAmericains d'origine arabe$xIdentite collective. 615 7$aAmericains d'origine arabe$xDans la litterature. 615 7$aArabes$xDans la litterature. 615 7$aLitterature americaine$xAuteurs appartenant a? des minorites$xHistoire et critique. 615 7$aLiterature. 615 7$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 7$aHomeland in literature. 615 7$aArabs in literature. 615 7$aArab Americans in literature. 615 7$aAmerican literature$xArab American authors. 615 7$aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature. 615 0$aArabs in literature. 615 0$aArab Americans in literature. 615 0$aHomeland in literature. 615 0$aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xArab American authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a810.98927 686 $aLIT004020$aLIT004220$aSOC002010$2bisacsh 700 $aFadda-Conrey$b Carol$4aut$0719669 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786556503321 996 $aContemporary Arab-American literature$91397592 997 $aUNINA
