Abstract
This dissertation brings together for study various Arab American writings by contemporary authors from diverse elements of Arab America. The emphasis is to assert that there is a rich field of Arab American literature now, and an emerging field of Arab American studies following in its wake as a newer addition to the U.S. ethnic studies field, which this study brings to bear on the literary texts, highlighting socio-ethnic and political issues in relation to the primary texts. Our study examines an array of primary authors who have different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds, men and women, of varying politics, who write in a variety of genres including memoir, poetry, and fiction, and whose aesthetically crafted literary texts tackle the politics of anti-Arab discourses and negative stereotypes about Arab Americans.
