Popis:	This article deals with award-winning Arabic YA novels The Bamboo Stalk by Saud Alsanousi, and Cappuccino by Fatima Sharafeddine, appropriating Marcia Baxter Magolda's term ‘self-authorship’ to trace the role of transnational migration in young adult cognitive growth. The novels twin maturity with increased ambiguity around national affiliation, and this article demonstrates how intergenerational bonds are challenged, rearranged, and maintained by the protagonists as they struggle for their personal rights within a patriarchal system.
