INCREDIBUILDS: ASSASSIN'S CREED DELUXE BOOK AND MODEL SET Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: INSIGHT EDITIONS

Abedelrazek examines the writing of Leila Ahmed, Mohja Kahf, Laila Halaby, and Diana Abu-Jaber to examine the hybridinated identities she sees in each text. The characters in these texts negotiate among multiple cultures and multiple identities. The characters in these books resist essentializing identity politics by rejecting the notions of roots in favor of diaspora. The characters have a “rearticulated politics of difference” - a celebration of difference that breaks down the boundary between self and other. I particularly enjoyed her discussion of Kahf’s Emails from Scheherazad and Abu-Jaber’s Crescent but that is because those were the texts I was most familiar with. In discussing Crescent , Abedelrazek asserts that each character experiences a different kind of exile, including Nathan and Sirine. She suggests Sirine is in exile from herself. Although I greatly appreciated the readings of Hanif’s experience of exile and the role of the uncle’s tales, I was skeptical about reading Sirine’s experience through the lens of the exile rather than as an Arab American experience or second generation immigrant experience. I preferred the discussion Abedelrazek opens where Sirine’s Arab American identity suggests a sort of American home for the exiled characters and yet Sirine lacks a feeling of home struggling to find peace with and agency within her own hyphenated identity.
