Visibility and violation: Non-resident Arab students after 9/11
by Otten, David Kevin, M.A., UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, 2007, 83 pages; 1442389

Abstract:

This thesis was started four years after the attacks of September 11, 2001 and in the midst of the War on Terrorism that has been waged since that event. This war more than anything has been the impetus for this thesis in that the efforts to fight the war at home have informed official policies and procedures that have within their sights the mass of non-resident Arab students around the country. In this thesis I offer a history of the treatment of Arabs, both resident and non-resident, in the United States from the 1967 Arab-Israeli War to the present, an analysis of the trial of Palestinian born University of Arkansas graduate student Arwah Jaber who was indicted on terrorism charges, and a discussion of the experiences of non-resident Arab University of Arkansas students who have been affected in various ways by the War on Terror.
