Drawing on both English and Arabic language sources, Berman contends that the fluidity and instability of the term Arab as it appears in captivity narratives, travel narratives, imaginative literature, and ethnic literature simultaneously instantiate and undermine definitions of the American nation and American citizenship. 001480291 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480291 546__ $$aIn English. 001480291 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 29.
