Abstract EN

Acculturation process among Arab Muslim Americans has been widely disputed by scholars in recent years.

Arin the United States are among several ethnic minorities who found it difficult to assimilate the American society; and this is due to many factors in which language and religion are worth considered.

The protagonist Khadra Shamy in The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2007) written by the Arab American writer Mohja Kahf is an allegorical to the Arab Muslims in America who were caught between the identity triangle of American, Arab, and Islam.

The current study analyzes the process of acculturative emancipation of Khadra Shamy adopting the Berry's model of acculturation strategies (1997).
