Multilingual Arabesques in the Novel in North America MULTILINGUAL ARABESQUES IN THE NOVEL IN NORTH AMERICA Rachel Anne Norman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: María DeGuzmán Connie Eble Jennifer Ho Carol Fadda-Conrey Walt Wolfram © 2018 Rachel Anne Norman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rachel Anne Norman: Multilingual Arabesques in the Novel in North America (Under the direction of María DeGuzmán) “Multilingual Arabesques” examines the literary and linguistic constructions of identity in the Arab diaspora in North America. Novels, and the languages used to write them, are cardinal spaces of cultural belonging. Arab North Americans’ inclusion (or not) of Arabic in their fiction establishes a linguistic identity that situates characters, texts, and authors within and beyond national spaces. By comparing representations of Arabic as a “foreign” language in novels from Canada, Mexico, and the United States, this dissertation argues that Arab diasporic writers invoke language to perform identity in contextually contingent ways. Within the United States and Canada, Arabs are socially constructed as “enemy,” “other,” and “fanatical terrorist,” and authors claim ethnic and national belonging through representations of code-switching and translingualism that powerfully contest and transform the spatial hegemony of the nation-state. Absent the same historical constructions of race, Mexico figures Arab immigrants as corrupt businessmen out to cheat “real” Mexicans. Arab Mexican authors variously utilize Arabic not as a tool to modify the nation but rather to create a linguistic space that stands outside geography. Chapter 1 explores the form and function of the intersections between language and identity categories like ethnicity, race, nation, class, gender, and sexuality. Continuing the discussion of gender, Chapter 2 argues that an Arab diasporic identity is inscribed within the female body through the cultural resources of food and language, while Chapter 3 suggests that queer Arab iii American characters inhabiting non-normative narrative structures challenge homonational global politics. Finally, Chapter 4 elucidates how authors manipulate language to normalize the presence of Arabic and Arab bodies by inserting Arabic into the linguistic landscape of North America. Although the Arab linguistic production of identity differs between Canada, Mexico, and the United States, all three Arab immigrant communities enlist language in the rhetorical and material pursuit of belonging. The first study in the field to compare nationally and linguistically diverse Arab diasporic texts, “Multilingual Arabesques” helps us to understand critical points of continuity and rupture within the Arab diaspora in North America. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe the following people a deep debt of gratitude: My director, María DeGuzmán, tirelessly read revision after revision, helped me to remember the forest when all I could see were the trees, and never stopped pushing me to think bigger. Connie Eble welcomed me to UNC with open arms and acted as an academic godmother over the last seven years. Jennifer Ho treated me like a colleague from the beginning and made me believe that I had a place within academia. Carol Fadda-Conrey blazed the trail and her passion and dedication to this field inspire me. Amanda Al-Raba’a, Laura Broom, Emma Calabrese, Lina Kuhn, and Kym Weed: Thank you for being so generous and so true. When things fell apart, you carried me. I am humbled by the knowledge that I will never be able to repay you; you have my most tender gratitude. Thank you to my family—Dave and Beth, Becky and Sarah—for everything. Without you this never would have been possible. And finally, Matt: for so many more things than I can name, but most especially your fierce love and quiet eagerness to follow me around the world. This one’s for you. v TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 1.

DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

First of all, it shows that the presence of Arabic men and women in France long predates contemporary struggles over immigration, Islam, and French and European cultural identity. Coller uncovers the history of a largely forgotten Arab-speaking population in France. He follows the lives of a socially and geographically diverse set of immigrants, most of whom set sail from Egypt with the remnants of Napoleon’s Grande Armée in 1801; his story ends with the July Monarchy and the conquest of Algeria in the early 1830s. But Arab France makes contributions beyond calling attention to the history of this population. One is to consider the relevance of an unusual group for thinking about the dynamics of community formation. A second, and perhaps more important, contribution is to challenge simplistic understandings of Orientalism and imperialism. In this optic, he pays particular attention to the trajectories--literal and figurative-of individual Arab intellectuals in France. A third significant goal is to chart not only the “making” but also the “unmaking” of an Arab-French community and to explain its disappearance.

  • “Sayonara” Mr. Saito – Goodbye Business!
    International Journal of Business Management and Commerce Vol. 2 No. 4; August 2017 “Sayonara” Mr. Saito – Goodbye Business! Byul Han LIM College Manhattan, New York City, New York United States of America Herbert Sherman, Ph.D. Chair-Elect Department of Business Administration School of Business, Public Admin., and Info Sciences LIU-Brooklyn, H-700, 1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States of America Abstract This case was written to point out the importance of entrepreneurial marketing, particularly for small businesses, and the brand extension along with the product life cycle. This is an observational field-based case study, which focuses upon Sand by Saya, a micro business that designs and assembles sandals in New York City with a worldwide distribution network. Sand by Saya lost its biggest Japanese buyer, Mr. Saito, due to weak sales of its newest product line, a line that was lower priced and poorly manufactured. The case ends with the CEO of the firm contemplating how she managed to get into this predicament, how she might have avoided it, and then what actions should be taken beyond legal retaliation. Part 2 includes a brief teaching note that provides a short description of entrepreneurial marketing, brand extension and product life cycle. The concepts are then applied to the case in order to understand some of the problems encountered by the firm and possible solution strategies. “Sayonara” Mr. Saito – Goodbye Business! It was early May and Sayaka was on the phone with Mr. Saito and her voice was serious, and so was the speech coming out of the receiver.

    H-France Forum Volume 7 1 H-France Forum, Volume 7, Issue 2 (Spring 2012), No. 1. Ian Coller, Arab France: Islam and the Making of Modern Europe, 1798-1831. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2011. xi + 288 pp. Figures, notes, bibliography, and index. $60.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 9780520260641; $24.95 U.S. (pb). ISBN 9780520260658; $20.00 U.S. (e-book). ISBN 9780520947542. Review essay by Julia Landweber, Montclair State University. Coller has written a superb study of a group of people unduly forgotten by historians and pretty much everybody else, too. This is the history of several hundred Middle Eastern exiles who followed the last members of Napoleon’s Grande Armée from Egypt to France in 1801, and who--joined by some additional emigrants arriving later--established themselves in Marseille, Melun and Paris. Coller collectively dubs this amorphous community “Arab France.” The choice of title signals the centrality of identity and geography to his project. Chronologically, the book’s narrative is sandwiched between Napoleon’s failed 1798 invasion of Egypt, which launched France’s modern interest in the Arab world, and the more successful French colonization of Algeria in 1830, which solidified France’s geopolitical interest in North Africa. The study ends in 1831 because Coller argues that the conquest of Algeria signaled the death-knell of Arab France, in the sense of any true accommodation between those two identities (and spaces). A discussion of Coller’s work ought to begin by noting some of its connections with the present. Indeed, Coller opens his preface with a remembrance of two French teenagers with distinctly Arab names who were killed in a Paris suburb during a 2005 police chase.

  • By Dana M. Olwan a Thesis Submitted to the Department of English In
    The Politics of Legibility: Writing and Reading Contemporary Arab American Women’s Literature by Dana M. Olwan A thesis submitted to the Department of English In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2009) Copyright © Dana M. Olwan, 2009 Abstract This dissertation focuses on contemporary literature produced by Arab American women authors. My study utilizes the works of Diana Abu-Jaber, Mohja Kahf, Suheir Hammad, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Laila Halaby, to raise questions about the processes, methods, and practices of writing, publishing, and reading Arab American women’s literature. Influenced by developments in contemporary Arab American studies, postcolonial, and reception theories, this dissertation examines, from an interdisciplinary perspective, novels, poetry, prose, and online articles that these authors produced in the aftermath of the First Gulf War until today (1993-2007). A study of this literature, I argue, facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the history of Arab American literature, its recent trends, and possible futures. Chapter Two focuses on the work of Diana Abu-Jaber, one of the most important Arab American women authors today. Tracing literary developments, shifts, and alterations in the author’s work, I argue that Abu-Jaber uses her writing to humanize Arab Americans for her predominantly western audiences. Focusing on what I see as shifts in the author’s political commitments and ideals, I analyze her large body of works in order to understand how they are influenced by the western publication industry, marketing strategies, reader demand, and literary fame. Chapter Three deals explicitly with the works of Mohja Kahf as I examine the author’s attempt to reconfigure Islam’s negative status in the United States by defying the politics of literary representation and challenging the restrictive cultural, racial, and religious boundaries of the Muslim ummah or community.

Miller 2010 3 MUSLIM YOUTH IDENTITIES AMONG BEUR: AN ANALYSIS OF NORTH AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS AND SELF-PERCEPTIONS IN FRANCE Lynette M. Miller, BPhil University of Pittsburgh 2010 This paper explores the identities of Beur youth, both in terms of ethnic French perceptions of this group, as well as the Beur perspective of their individual and collective cultural identities. “Beur” refers to second and third generation immigrant youth in France of North African origins, and has become a nominator for an ethnic and cultural minority group in France. This minority group has spurred the development of activist groups, a unique sub-genre of hip-hop music, a slang dialect of French, and an entire French sub-culture. Noting this growing presence and influence of Beur culture in France, I posit the question: What roles do integration and inclusion in society play in Beur youth‟s development of individual identity and larger group identity, particularly in France? I examine this question through an exploratory qualitative research study to understand how Arab-Muslim immigrant youth, i.e.
