This research explores the experiences of Muslim immigrants confronting Islamophobia in the United States as depicted in Jasmine Warga's Other Words for Home.

These findings confirm that the novel Other Words For Home reflects the social reality of Islamophobia in the United States and the struggles of Muslim immigrants to maintain their identity and dignity in the society that full of prejudiced.
