Text of Note

This thesis aims to explore the transnational Muslim woman's identity in the United States post 9/11 and analyze the longitudinal impacts on their lives in a transnational sphere whilst taking an ethnographic approach to enlighten their voices and provide a meaningful and enriching account that substantiates their identity. To excavate the layers of identity that shadow the Muslim women, a qualitative mixed-methods approach has been used amalgamating thematic narrative analysis with the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) framework to understand how the four key variables identified in qualitative data: social structure, Shar'iah law, religious institutions and patriarchy and media have shaped and impacted the four loci of CTI: personal identity, enacted identity, relational identity and communal identity of the Muslim women.
