Abstract
The use of humour by Muslim women has received little critical attention. This article addresses this gap by examining the significance of humour in encountering microaggression and Islamophobia in Huda Fahmy’s graphic memoirs: Yes, I’m Hot in This (2018), Huda F Are You? (2021), and Huda F Cares? (2023). Drawing upon references from Muslim and feminist humour studies and exploring racial microaggressions in American society, this article problematises the complex position of Muslim women’s humour in literature. This paper addresses how humour has been used by Huda Fahmy to resist microaggressions in her everyday life. Through a discussion of Fahmy’s texts, this paper situates Huda Fahmy within the existing genre of memoir and highlights the uniqueness of her position and her significant contributions to the genre. This study reflects how humour emerges as a powerful method of resistance and resilience against societal challenges, offering insights into the nuanced experiences of everyday life, while also examining how humorous graphic memoirs distinguish themselves in the study of microaggressions and humour.
