dc.description.abstract	This paper presents a case study of a young Arab-American girl struggling against a united front of innocence, patriotism, and peer culture in an American first grade class one year after ‘9/11’. Through her writings, language interactions, and play, Hanan, a six year old student in the first grade class I taught, asserted an ethnic identity and resisted interpellation as an American as she coped with ritualized post- 9/11 patriotism in the school culture and in the peer culture.	en
