EXPLORING IDENTITY LOSS AND HYBRIDITY THROUGH THE LENS OF FEMINISM: A STUDY OF JEAN SASSON'S DAUGHTERS OF ARABIA IN THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLD

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the issues and challenges faced by women in the Arab and Muslim world. Jean Sasson's Daughters of Arabia was used as a reference, emphasizing the suppression caused to the feminine gender by the masculine. The novel was theoretically analyzed through the feminist perspective of identity crisis and hybridity. Data was collected from two sources: primary and secondary, and it was concluded that all protagonists of Sasson suffer from identity loss and hybrid identity.
