O knihe
This book aims at examining the literary representations of Arab/Muslim Americans in two novels: Falling Man by Don DeLillo (2007) and Once in a Promised Land by Laila Halaby (2007). These two novels have Written in the same year,and represent Arab/Muslim characters in the framework of the event of the 9/11, but from two different perspectives. While DeLillo represents Arab/Muslim Americans from the perspective of an outsider, Halaby's novel represents the experience of Arab/Muslim Americans from the inside. A number of concepts introduced within the postcolonial conceptualframework in Homi Bhabha's, Edward Said's, Bernard Lewis writings, will be used for a better understanding. These concepts are: identity, belonging, cultural hybridity representation, and Orientalism.The thesis is divided into three chapters. First chapter charts the literary workswritten after 9/11 by both American and Arab/ Muslim Americans. It also lays the ground for the theoretical background used in the thesis. The Second chapter is devoted to the analysis of Don DeLillo's Falling Man, while the third chapter shifts the focus to Once in a Promised Land.
