This study aims at investigating the ethnic identity crisis and the problems of acculturation and enculturation in Evelyn Shakir's "Let's dance." The study will present a close reading analysis of Shakir's story highlighting the problem of constructing the ethnic identity for the protagonist Nadia who suffers from the lack of her parental support and divorce. Additionally, the study presents the problems that most Arab American young adults suffer from when living in America such as the confusion of belonging to the Arab and American culture, the American negative media stereotypes about Arabs, and the conflict between Arab and American ethnic and cultural traditions. The study concludes that the parental problems and conflicts negatively influence the construction of Arab American young adults' ethnic identity and acculturation.

<p>This study sheds light on the conflict between adherence to Arab traditions and the aspiration to live a freer American life that most Arab American young adults suffer from. The research focuses on two Arab American young adult short stories by Evelyn Shakir’s “Remember Vaughan Monroe” and “Not Like Today” which reflect the tension between tradition and freedom for the young adult protagonists who are obliged by their parents to live an Arab traditional life and who like to live their American life without restrictions. The study concludes that Arab American young adult protagonists get confused at the end of the stories because of their inability to compromise between their Arab traditions and their willingness to live the American freedom they want.</p>
