Abstract

Tis research explores the narrative representation of Islamophobia and governmental oppression in Samira Ahmed’s Internment, focusing on the underlying reasons behind the U.S. government’s discriminatory actions toward Muslims and the diverse responses of Muslim characters within the narrative. There are two problems to be solved in this research: (1) Why do Muslims get oppression in Samira Ahmed’s Internment; (2) How are Muslims reaction on the oppression in Samira Ahmed’s Internment?. By using descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how the novel constructs a complex portrayal of resistance and compliance. The first part of the analysis reveals that the government’s oppression is driven by political manipulation, fear-based propaganda, and institutionalized racial bias, legitimized through public support and media narratives as well as the discrimination that Muslim characters receive. The second part explores the various responses from Muslim characters: active resistance, cautious silence, and even reluctant collaboration. This study finds that Muslim reactions to government discrimination are divided between those who choose to fight back out of moral compulsion and a desire for justice, and those who refuse to fight back out of fear, past experiences, and a desire to keep themselves and their families safe. Through its multiple narrative perspectives, the novel provides a layered and nuanced insight into how individuals and communities navigate fear, identity, and survival under oppressive regimes. This study highlights the power of narrative structure in reflecting real-world social tensions and the multiplicity of human experience in the face of discrimination.
