Molalita. The Identity Construction of Najwa as A Jordanian Muslim Woman in
the Novel of Willow Trees Don’t Weep. Thesis: English Letters Department, Adab
and Humanities Faculty, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta,
2016.
This research discusses the identity construction of Najwa‟s character as a
Jordanian Muslim Woman in the Willow Trees Don’t Weep (2014) novel by Fadia
Faqir. The research uses qualitative method with descriptive analysis. The writer
studied the novel and the character of Najwa that focuses on Najwa‟s identity
construction as a Jordanian Muslim woman who lives in a strong patriarchal
culture. This research is supported by the concept of identity of Stuart Hall.
The aim of the research is to show how Najwa as the main character construct her
identity, especially it is seen clearly in the way she tries to find her father to some
different countries include Pakistan, Afghanistan, and England. The writer finds
out the process of negotiation and articulation of Najwa as the effort to construct
her identity through her appearance and certain practices as a Jordanian Muslim
woman. However, it is changed as she goes to the new environment of England as
well as starts a new experience as a woman in England. The result shows that
identity is not static but something dynamic because it is something that never
ends and always in progress, but at once identity suggests a changing due to the
influenced by the culture where the people live in.
