The literary examples will be drawn mainly from Arabic, Arab American, Arab British, and Arab Brazilian literatures, serving as case studies for the complex network of ethnic, national, and transnational identities, but the theoretical readings will address multiple sites of transnational negotiation around the world, inviting students to bring other literary traditions into the conversation. Theoretical readings may include texts by Edward Said, Stuart Hall, Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, Laurence Venuti, Ella Shohat and Robert Stam, among others.
