This thesis explores critiques of mainstream neoliberal capitalist approaches to "selfcare" vis-á-vis the experiences of Arab American women. An analysis through the lenses of critical ethnic and feminist studies gestures toward the shortcomings of mainstream notions of self-care by investigating how it is prescribed to individuals as the answer to the stress and demands of neoliberal capitalism - all the while maintaining and uplifting key features of neoliberalism. By conducting interviews with three Arab American women and utilizing autoethnography, I was able to identify and communicate the ways that Arab American women disrupt this pattern through seeking out and creating spaces of radical collectivity, while also illuminating the power of remaining illegible through a demand for opacity. Here, the theorizing of radical collectivity is grounded in affect theory, corazonar by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, and sentipensante by Laura I. Rendón- while the demand for opacity is articulated through the language of Edouard Glissant.
