Cosmopolitanism Barriers in Samira Ahmed's Love, Hate and other Filters \2018\
2024
Overview
This study explores how racism represents an obstacle to any citizen to become a cosmopolitan in multicultural societies. Anti-racism fiction in Anglophone literature is the area of this study by exploring Samira Ahmed's narrative Love, Hate and Other Filters. Ahmed portrays in her debut novel how the brown, feminist, Indian-American, Muslim protagonist faces different types of discrimination in American society. Described as brown in a white society, she suffers from color discrimination. As a female, she suffers from the patriarchal authority that restricts her freedom. Moreover, she faces islamophobia as an Indian Muslim living in America. To clarify this, the research has been conducted in a qualitative method using descriptive methodology, mainly depending on textual analysis through a close reading of post- 9/11 fictional text narrated by a woman. Muslim women immigrants' trauma of Islamophobia, colorism and sexism in Western societies will be examined by the feminist Indian-American, Muslim, immigrant novelist who addresses the issue of the relationship between cosmopolitanism and these different categories of racism in fiction and how these three encounters of racism act as a barrier to cosmopolitanism. Ahmed's goal is to convince the reader to regularly try to live as a cosmopolitan and communicate with others.
