AB Having a cultural identity means knowing where you come from, and that gives you a sense of belonging and a sense of self. However, when you start doubting your self-identity and feeling like you don’t belong neither here nor there, your identity is in jeopardy. In this regard, this thesis explores how identity is expressed, constructed and negotiated in multilingual and culturally diverse settings, and assesses the roles of language and culture in this process. To this end, the thesis engages cultural studies, postcolonial theory, spatial theory and the analysis of three narratives of immigrants: american lebanese ameen fares rihani’s the book of khalid, american palestinian edward said’s out of place: a memoir, and american jordanian diana abu-jaber’s arabian jazz.
