In this wide-ranging study, Gomma examines contemporary migrant narratives by Arab-American, Chicana, Indian-American, Pakistani-American, and Cuban-American women writers. Concepts such as national consciousness, time, space, and belonging are scrutinized through the "non-national" experience, unsettling notions of a unified America.
Dalia M.A. Gomaa is an Associate Lecturer of Women Studies at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA.
