Islamophobia in America After the 9/11 Attacks Reflected in the Novel Yusuf Azeem Is Not a Hero (2021)

---

This research discussed the portrayal of islamophobia in America after the 9/11 Attacks in the novel Yusuf Azeem Is Not a Hero by Saadia Farugi, which aimed to examine islamophobia as a form of orientalism in the aftermath of the 9/11 Attacks. This research used the theory of orientalism and the concept of islamophobia proposed by Edward W. Said under the post-colonialism approach to deconstruct the colonial discourses depicted in literature. The researcher applied a gualitative descriptive method to analyze the data and note-taking as the research instrument. This research showcased that islamophobia as a form of orientalism is manifested through the construction of the orientalist ideas about the East (Orient) constracted with the West (Occident), which is represented through the lens of Yusuf as the main character to describe the portrayal of islamophobia in the novel. The researcher found that the drawing of Western characters towards Muslim characters in the novel illustrated Islamophobia, where Islam is considered an inferior religion and Muslims as the other.
