Abstract

The Novel A Woman Is No Man richly posited the dialogue of cultural preservation onto women. This topic is mainly seen as patriarchal domination over women in practicing their way of life. Furthermore, this novel takes place in a Palestinian-American woman's family; therefore, it becomes essential to study the use of hegemony in maintaining cultural value in this novel. The main objective of this study is to determine the types of hegemony depicted in the Novel A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum. The theoretical framework used for this study is Hegemony by Antonio Gramsci. The research approach used is sociological. Qualitative methods are used to collect the data object in the form of sentences in the Novel A Woman Is No Man to illustrate the hegemony types contained therein. The result of the study shows the types of hegemony contained in A Woman Is No Man novel, namely minimal hegemony and decadent hegemony. Both types of hegemony can be known from the description of the following sections: parents as a symbol of dominance and power, and the children as the characters are imposed upon the hegemony in the family.
