Manifestations of the Nakba and exile in the narrative of the Palestinian diaspora

Abstract

Palestinian literature was born and grew up in the embrace of wars and catastrophes, and the catastrophe of the Israeli occupation is the harshest experience that a Palestinian is exposed to. This experience affected generations of writers who were forcibly displaced from their homelands and live in exile with all its pain. The literature of the Nakba and exile greatly overlaps with the literature of identity. Exile is what fuels longing for homelands, which is what makes the exiled person torn between two worlds search for himself and his identity. We chose for this proposal a topic based on the Nakba and its repercussions in the Palestinian novel and elsewhere, which It answers the following question: What is it? Manifestations of the Nakba and exile in the narrative of the Palestinian diaspora? One of the characteristics of this literature is that it is characterized by identity fragmentation, loss, and homesickness, in which the dream of return becomes an obsession.
