Abstract	Arab migrant literature explores themes of displacement, identity, cultural assimilation, and resistance, reflecting the lived experiences of migration. This study integrates primary data from literary works by authors such as Ameen Rihani, Edward Said, Leila Aboulela, Randa Jarrar, and Laila Lalami, analysing their portrayals of exile, nostalgia, and hybridity. It also draws on secondary data, including postcolonial and diaspora studies, with insights from scholars like Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Mona Amyuni, to contextualise these narratives. By examining both textual and theoretical perspectives, this paper highlights Arab migrant literature as both a testimony of migrant struggles and a critical tool for reimagining identity in transnational contexts.
Keywords	Arab migrant literature, displacement, identity, cultural assimilation, resistance, exile, nostalgia, hybridity, postcolonial studies, diaspora, transnational identity.
