Abstract

This paper explored how Tahmima Anam’s A Golden Age reimagines women’s roles in wartime through the lens of postcolonial feminist theory. Centering on the character Rehana Haque, a mother navigating the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the analysis highlights how motherhood, emotional labor, and trauma become politicized forms of resistance. Drawing on theoretical insights from Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Gayatri Spivak, Veena Das, and others, the study demonstrates how Rehana’s domestic and relational actions challenge dominant, masculinist narratives of nationalism. The paper argues that Rehana’s maternal identity is a site of situated agency, where caregiving and emotional endurance serve as political acts that sustain revolutionary efforts. Furthermore, the novel critiques the symbolic ideal of the “mother of the nation,” replacing it with a complex portrayal of lived experience, grief, and resilience. By foregrounding the gendered dimensions of trauma and memory, this study contributes to feminist and postcolonial literary criticism and calls for a redefinition of heroism that includes the emotional and domestic labor of women during national struggles.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of women’s emancipation in Enola Holmes 2 through the lens of feminist literary criticism. Using Mansour Fakih’s theory of emancipation, the research examines how the film portrays women’s struggles and resistance in three key areas: economy, education, and politics. The film centers on Enola Holmes, a young female detective navigating systemic gender discrimination in Victorian England. Through her challenges in establishing a career, her involvement in the Matchgirls Strike of 1888, and the mentorship she receives from her mother, the film demonstrates the multidimensional nature of emancipation. Enola’s journey symbolizes both personal empowerment and collective resistance, aligning with both liberal and socialist feminist perspectives. Her development as an independent, capable figure, along with the solidarity shown among female characters like Sarah Chapman and Mira Troy, reflects ongoing struggles against patriarchal norms. This study highlights how cinema can function as a powerful medium to critique historical and contemporary gender inequalities. The film does not only entertain but also educates and inspires audiences to reflect on women’s continuous efforts toward freedom, agency, and equality. By reconstructing historical narratives with a feminist lens, Enola Holmes 2 contributes significantly to popular feminist discourse.

Abstract

Abstract Historically, Orientalism has perceived Islam in reductionist views for centuries. To resist this basic view, it is crucial to investigate Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2005), which redefines Islam and Islamic terms, such as Jihad, Hijrah, and Caliph in more positive insights. Kahf’s text questions orientalists, which tend to misrepresent Muslims in a limited way, such as Jihad associated with terrorism and killing others instead of fighting against worldly desires. To contest these negative misrepresentations of the Muslim world, in her novel, Kahf uses Islamic sacred texts, such as Surah At-Taubah (Repentance) and Al-A’raf (The Heights), to redefine Islam as a religion, which promotes Salam (peace) and tolerance in the world instead of violence as misrepresented in Western liberalism. By engaging with postcolonial and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf uses the Quran and hadiths in her novel to reject imperialist perspectives. Thus, Kahf’s novel explores the Islamic sacred texts to inspire people how to live in a modern society by appreciating different people regardless of their different races and faiths and practicing tolerance to establish a more global civilized society. Keyword: US-Muslimah’s fiction, Quran and Hadiths, Jihad , Hijrah, Caliph and leader, Tolerance [Secara historis, Orientalisme telah memandang Islam dalam pandangan reduksionis selama berabad-abad. Untuk menolak pandangan dasar ini, penting untuk menyelidiki The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2005) karya Mohja Kahf, yang mendefinisikan ulang Islam dan istilah-istilah Islam, seperti Jihad, Hijrah, dan Khalifah dalam wawasan yang lebih positif. Teks Kahfi mempertanyakan para orientalis yang cenderung memberikan gambaran keliru tentang umat Islam secara terbatas, seperti Jihad yang dikaitkan dengan terorisme dan membunuh orang lain alih-alih berperang melawan keinginan duniawi. Untuk melawan kesalahpahaman negatif tentang dunia Muslim, dalam novelnya, Kahfi menggunakan teks suci Islam, seperti Surah At-Taubah (Pertobatan) dan Al-A'raf (Ketinggian), untuk mendefinisikan kembali Islam sebagai agama yang mengedepankan Salam ( perdamaian) dan toleransi di dunia dibandingkan kekerasan seperti yang disalahartikan dalam liberalisme Barat. Dengan terlibat dalam studi pascakolonial dan Islam, makalah ini menyelidiki bagaimana Kahf menggunakan Al-Quran dan hadis dalam novelnya untuk menolak perspektif imperialis. Oleh karena itu, novel Kahfi mengeksplorasi kitab-kitab suci Islam untuk menginspirasi masyarakat bagaimana hidup dalam masyarakat modern dengan menghargai orang yang berbeda tanpa membedakan ras dan keyakinannya serta mengamalkan toleransi untuk mewujudkan masyarakat beradab yang lebih global. Kata Kunci: Fiksi AS-Muslimah, Quran and Hadits, Jihad, Hijrah, Khalifah, Tolerance.]

Abstract

This research explores how gender inequality and resistance are portrayed in Ayesha at Last, a novel by Uzma Jalaluddin. The main character, Ayesha, is a Muslim woman living in Canada who faces social pressure to follow traditional gender roles. Using Mansour Fakih’s theory, the research identifies different forms of gender inequality in Ayesha’s life, such as stereotypes, subordination, symbolic violence, marginalization, and double burden. At the same time, using bell hooks’ theory of feminist empowerment, the research also shows how Ayesha resists these pressures. She expresses her voice, chooses her career, wears the hijab with pride, and makes personal decisions based on her values. The method used is close textual analysis (CTA), focusing on the language and actions in the novel. This research aims to show that even small, everyday choices can be powerful acts of resistance, especially for Muslim women living in diaspora communities. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of how literature can reflect and challenge gender injustice.

Abstract

This research discusses how female characters in short stories by Shaila Abdullah and Randa Jarrar experience shame and honor culture, double surveillance, and women’s resistance. This study aims to explore how honor and shame operate as mechanisms of patriarchal control, and how women navigate social pressures both in local and diasporic contexts. Using a qualitative method, this research analyzes textual elements, including dialogue and narration to examine these issues. Patriarchy Theory by Sylvia Walby, Intersectionality Theory by Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Postcolonial Subaltern Theory by Antonio Gramsci are applied to explain how gender, culture, and social expectations shape women’s experiences. The results show that the main characters face double surveillance from family and society, creating psychological and social constraints, yet they enact subtle forms of resistance to assert autonomy and identity. In conclusion, this research highlights the persistence of honor culture as a social control mechanism and the strategies women employ to reclaim freedom and dignity.

Abstract

This study analyzes how Shaila Abdullah's Saffron Dreams portrays and resists Orientalists' stereotypes of Muslim women. Through Saffron Dreams, Abdullah attempts to put up a fight against the negative stereotypes of Orientalists toward Muslim women. It is shown based on how the main protagonist is portrayed as a Muslim Pakistani-American woman who lost her husband in 9/11, experiencing mistreatment from her host land society due to the spreading negative stereotypes of Muslim women. By utilizing Close Textual Analysis, this study focuses on examining how the novel depicts and resists the Muslim women's stereotype by Orientalists. This study discovers that the novel repeatedly portrays that Muslim women are perceived as oppressed by men and patriarchy who are forced to do arranged marriage and use hijab and also as the "Other" or dangerous foreigners unaccepted as part of Western society. Indeed, the novel depicts the main protagonist's response to orientalists’ perspectives of Muslim women through the repetitive use of color symbolism, such as red, black, white, green, blue, brown, orange, gold, and yellow for the main protagonist representing her resistance of orientalism. Simbolisme warna dan perlawanan dalam Saffron Dreams karya Shaila Abdullah Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana novel Saffron Dreams karya Shaila Abdullah menggambarkan dan melawan stereotip para orientalis terhadap perempuan Muslim. Melalui Saffron Dreams, Abdullah mencoba untuk melakukan perlawanan terhadap stereotip negatif para orientalis terhadap perempuan Muslim. Hal ini ditunjukkan melalui bagaimana protagonis utama digambarkan sebagai seorang wanita Muslim Pakistan-Amerika yang kehilangan suaminya dalam peristiwa 9/11, yang mengalami perlakuan buruk dari masyarakat di negara asalnya akibat stereotip negatif terhadap wanita Muslim. Dengan menggunakan Analisis Tekstual Mendekat, penelitian ini berfokus untuk melihat bagaimana novel ini menggambarkan dan melawan stereotip perempuan Muslim yang dibuat oleh para orientalis. Pene­litian ini menemukan bahwa novel Saffron Dreams berulang kali menggambarkan bahwa perempuan Muslim dianggap tertindas oleh laki-laki dan patriarki yang dipaksa untuk melakukan perjodohan dan menggunakan hijab dan juga sebagai "Liyan" atau orang asing yang berbahaya yang tidak diterima sebagai bagian dari masyarakat Barat. Novel ini menggambarkan respon protagonis utama terhadap perspektif orientalis tentang perempuan Muslim melalui penggunaan simbolisme warna yang berulang-ulang, seperti merah, hitam, putih, hijau, biru, coklat, oranye, emas, dan kuning untuk protagonis utama yang mewakili perlawanannya terhadap orientalisme.
