The exacerbation of resistance and reverse resistance in Ayad Akhtar's disgraced (2013)‎

Abstract EN

Diasporic Muslims' social life has been completely altered in the West in the 21^st century.

Immigrants confront sheer prejudice, marginalization, ethnic profiling, and estrangement in the Western community.

Perhaps Ayad Akhtar's Disgraced (2013) incorporates features of resistance and reverse resistance of Muslims in countries of residence in which Amir, the protagonist, experiences alienation from his wife, friends, and his colleagues at work and in which the Western society acutely discard and exclude Amir.

The research concludes that resistance seems inevitable if both Westerners and Easterners are not ready to tolerate differences, mitigate cultural gaps, and adopt common grounds.
