Paper Details

This study looks at how Anglophone writing shapes and expresses Omani cultural identity in today's globalized world. We analyzed works by Jokha Alharthi, Abdulaziz Al-Farsi, Huda Hamed, and other Omani writers to understand how English works as a medium for literary expression and cultural negotiation. What makes Omani Anglophone literature different from broader Arab writing is its introspective focus—these works examine internal societal changes rather than diasporic experiences. We looked at tradition versus modernity, gender dynamics, and linguistic hybridity, paying attention to how English loanwords and narrative adaptations blend with Arabic literary heritage. Anglophone Omani literature does more than just communicate across cultures; it preserves indigenous heritage while giving Omani storytelling a place in global literary conversations. This research adds to ongoing discussions about World Englishes and literary production in the Arab Gulf region.
