Abstract
This paper aims at analyzing Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006) and shedding light on the issues of women in foreign and local communities. These issues are related to culture, religion, customs and traditions. It also analyses the conflict of identity, the division of belonging and the clashes between eastern and western norms. The writer tries to convey the shouts of help which her heroine “Khadra” releases but in vain. Khadra always suffers from self-alienation and a permanent feeling of being rejected and marginalized. This paper also aims at gaining sympathy, support and real understanding of the sufferings of the Arab and the Muslim woman and her struggle, as Khadra symbolizes the eastern woman in general and the female Muslim in particular. Her story is a shout of protest against the oppression and aggression which are regularly practiced against her and her hijab which is a symbol of her personality, belief and religion and her strong will to resist and not to submit any longer and to try hard to find and discover herself in the new society in which she has to cope with
