This dissertation provides the first in-depth study of the Lebanese-American immigrant writer, journalist, and translator 'Afīfa Karam (1883-1924), an important contributor to the nahda, the Arabic cultural renaissance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Karam published three Arabic novels in New York City between 1906 and 1910, predating the publication of Haykal's Zaynab (1914), which is widely credited as the first Arabic novel. This study challenges the dominant narrative of the evolution of the modern Arabic novel, and posits that Karam's absence from the Arabic canon stems not only from her gender, but also from her deterritorialized status as a member of the mahjar (diasporic) community of Arabs living in North and South America.
