Abstract

This study analyzes the oppression and differences between modern life and family life in traditional conservative Kuwaiti society experienced by Dahlia, the main female character in The Pact We Made. This study aims to examine how oppression Dahlia experienced as a Kuwaiti woman and what are the differences between her modern life and her family's conservative traditional life. The researchers used a qualitative descriptive method to conduct this research. Primary data used in this study is a novel entitled The Pact We Made by Layla Alammar, while secondary data is another source related to research objectives. The researcher applies the theory of  standpoint feminism by Sandra Harding and Nancy Hartsock and the concept of oppression by Iris Marion Young to show what form of oppression through the lens of standpoint feminism are experienced by the main character in this book. The results of the research show that the oppression experienced by Dahlia is a type of powerlessness and cultural imperialism. This is shown by Dahlia who is not allowed to make her own choices and feels unable to go against the traditional rules of her parents and Kuwait society which is still strong with a patriarchal culture that underestimates women.

Abstract

Food plays a central role in Arab-American women’s writing because it bridges personal memory, cultural identity, and gendered experience. While previous studies have examined food as nostalgia or cultural preservation, fewer have explored how culinary practices and kitchen spaces function as feminist sites of agency and identity negotiation within the diasporic context. This Paper focuses on Diana Abu-Jaber’s memoirs The Language of Baklava (2006) and Life Without a Recipe (2016) using the perspective of Food Studies, Arab-American Feminism and Diaspora Theory. The analysis aims to explore how food function as a narrative tool for Arab-American women to express identity, memory, and resistance within patriarchal and cross-cultural contexts. With Gaul’s (2024) concept of food cultural and emotional symbol as main theory, this paper argues that Abu-Jaber transform the kitchen from domestic space into a site of empowerment and negotiation. This study employs qualitative content analysis to examine recurring food narratives, memories, and kitchen spaces in both memoirs, using close reading supported by theoretical categorization. The Result found that food in Abu-Jaber’s memoir is not merely a cultural representation, but a feminist language that bridges Arab and American experiences. Through culinary memory, recipe, and everyday cooking, Abu-Jaber redefines female agency and articulates a hybrid Arab-American identity. The study conclude that Abu-Jaber’s memoirs reflect a distinct form Arab-American feminism where food and the kitchen serve as mediums of self-expression, cultural preservation and resistance.

Abstract

This research examines how Shiver’s We Need to Talk About Kevin (2003) and Shamsie’s  Home Fire expose Western double standards in representations of terrorism and reveal how anti-Muslim bias constructs Muslims as inherently associated with terrorism. The motivation for the study is the continued link of Muslims with terrorism as opposed to sharply contrasting portrayals of non-Muslim perpetrators of comparable atrocities. It explores how these novels deconstruct the supposed neutrality of the War on Terror rhetoric by revealing the ideological assumptions and double standards that inform portrayals of terrorism. The current study applies Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism to scrutinize the Western biases in the depiction of terrorism in both novels. It also uses Critical Terrorism Studies to examine how the concept of terrorism is formed through hegemonic Western discourses. This study used a qualitative approach to conduct a close textual analysis of the tales of Parvaiz and Kevin, exploring how their differing representations reveal underlying ideological prejudices. The findings suggest that Western representations of terrorism disproportionately link Muslim identities to terrorism and that white perpetrators are more likely to be explained in terms of individual or psychological factors rather than being labeled as terrorists, even when their actions meet widely accepted definitions of terrorism. These differing portrayals show that the vocabulary of the War on Terror is ideologically informed, rather than consistently applied across cases. Ultimately, the two books question the assumption that this discourse is neutral or objective by showing the racialized and unequal frameworks through which terrorism is represented.
