Abstract
People see America as a place where they can rise from poverty and improve themselves. An environment where financial security is the result of education and hard effort. A location that offers opportunity, freedom, and hope. They see it as a happy and welcoming ambiance. A position in which the person has some control over his living situation in life. This is how people see the American dream. This study examines Laila Halaby's Once in a Promised Land, an Anglo-Arab fiction. The current study examines how the 11-9 attacks negatively impacted Arab Americans and destroyed their American dream. This paper also emphasizes how difficult it is for Arab Americans to retain their identity and fit into American society after the attacks.
