Résumé:
An unprecedented rise of calls to voice ethnic, religious and sexual minorities has marked the last few years. Muslims, Arabs and women are considered as one of the most marginal-ized of all liminal selves. In this respect, giving voice to oppressed minorities and unveiling the  dreariness  of  immigration  often  seen  as  a  brutal  process  of  deterriteriolization  have  become a commitment for many Arab Anglophone women writers who not only aim to reveal  the  state  of  liminality  Arab  women  may  confront  in  their  societies,  but  they  also  verbalize how Arabs and other immigrants are liminalized in the Diaspora. The present article questions the multiplicity of a liminal state experienced by Salma in Fadia Faqir’s My Name is Salma (2006).
