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).
