Gana analyzes the ways in which Arab Canadian aesthetes have grappled with the subtly but largely incriminating discourses about Arabs that have been circulating with variable intensities since the first large wave of new Arab immigrants set foot in Canada (in the late 1960s and early 70s), and have gained momentum during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) and in the wake of the Gulf War (1990-1991) until they radically intensified in the aftermath of 9/11. It is argued that Arab Canadians found no viable alternative of voicing their growing discontent but to confront the free-floating and intransigent mainstream discourses of Arabness with the individual and lived experiences of everyday Arabs and/or Arab everydayness.
