Journal Article
Bridging Worlds
2023
Overview
In the wake of the 9/11 tragedy, the concept of 'biculturality' and 'double consciousness' has taken on heightened significance for immigrant Arabs in the United States. This study delves into how individuals navigating these dynamics have evolved, particularly among those who embraced integration within American society while preserving their ties to their original cultures. This choice has engendered a complex existence of dual identities, reflecting a profound 'in-betweenness'. This state of 'in betweenness' has given rise to a binary psychological framework characterized by the interplay of 'pulling' towards their adopted homeland and 'pushing' towards their cultural roots. This exploration occurs within the theoretical realms of Du Bois' and Bhabha's conceptualizations of 'double-consciousness' and 'in-betweenness'. Within this context, the analysis focuses on three distinct short stories, each highlighting a female protagonist whose experiences embody varying degrees of 'biculturality'. Through these narratives, the research sheds light on the intricate negotiation of 'assimilation' and 'preservation', ultimately illustrating the nuanced psychological landscapes that emerge from the interstice of two cultures.
