In Arabian Jazz , Diana Abu-Jaber works with the cultural imperative that girls must get married but wickedly employs Greek myths, fairy tales, and American popular culture to deconstruct the traditional story of marriage at any cost and create an “in-between” space where her heroines, Melvina and Jemorah, can adequately define themselves as Arab-American women
