In this class, we will read contemporary Arab-American literatures and explore how identities are constructed and what it means to be Arab-American(s) as defined by the novels, social media and other cultural texts. We are going to read history, religion, race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class as signifiers, struggles and/or liberatory sociocultural constructs and learn about Arab-American experiences.
During the preparatory session in July, we will finalize our reading list to which you are more than welcome to contribute to with novels, short stories, poems, games, tv-shows and/or films that we can explore, too.
The reading list, so far, contains the following authors and books:
Laila Lalami -- Unconditional Citizens (2021)
Susan Abulhawa -- Against the Loveless World (2021)
Ghassan Zeineddine -- Dearborn (2023)
Hala Alyan -- Salt Houses (2017)
