Summary
Ground Zero Narratives: Islam and Muslims in Post-9/11 American Narratives and Arab American Counter-Narratives presents a dissection of American narratives to understand how 9/11 stories reflect both geopolitical relations and conflicts of our collective present regarding terrorism and counter-terrorism. Mubarak Altwaiji approaches post-9/11 narratives from two opposing perspectives/voices: neutral narratives and political narratives. By doing this, the book provides a neutral cultural territory divorced from geopolitical strategy to understand this new version of American literature and explore the common beliefs and values in it. A third focus, emerging in American literary studies and offering a bridge to those interested in exploring the cultural contributions of Muslim immigrants to American culture, is on the literature of immigrants. It is vital to consider the contribution of Arab American writers as the concepts of culture and co-existence are interlinked.
