Journal Article
Introduction: Race, Islam, and the Task of Muslim and Arab American Writing
2008
Overview
The post-9/11 intensification of racism against Muslim and Arab Americans reflects the protean forms and shifts in focus and locus of racism form ethnic and color lines to religious and cultural affiliations or differentials. Here, Gana sketches the history of this ideologically driven racism and show how Muslim and Arab American writers have sought not merely to expose but also to intervene in the material and palpable workings of the complicit apparatuses of racism and war and explores how an eclectic group of North American Muslim and Arab writers make use of diverse narrative forms to challenge the inimical image of Islam and Arabness as well as the continual violence of which it is simultaneously the target and the product. He also analyzes the significance of human resilience and suffering in affirming a measure of communal and transnational solidarity.
