Attentive to the ongoing nature of Palestinian dispossession since 1948, it focuses on how exile is narrated and the ways in which it informs models of selfhood within a context of conflict and loss. This involves adopting a framework of settler colonialism in order to understand the conflict. Broadly speaking, the thesis conceives of Palestinian life writing as a form of testimony posing an urgent and necessary counternarrative to the hegemony of the Israeli discourse on Palestine/Israel. The thesis examines life writing by different generations of Palestinians, from those who experienced the Nakba of 1948, to those born as second-generation Palestinians in their parents’ adopted homelands. It does not limit itself to examining the work of those at a geographical distance from Palestine but also looks at narratives by those who live, or have lived, under Israeli occupation. This has required paying particular attention to the difference between ‘internal’ and ‘external’ exile. Recognising that Palestinians who live in Palestine/Israel still sometimes articulate their experience as a form of exiling is an integral aspect of this research. The thesis argues that while the ongoing conflict impacts the identity formation and experiences of all the writers under consideration, nonetheless each author is inevitably guided by distinct geographies, temporalities, imaginings and frames of reference, which ultimately determine their relationship to Palestine and what it means to consider themselves exiled. I am, therefore, particularly mindful of the plurality of exilic experience, even while ideas of communality are still hugely important. The thesis consists of three author-led chapters – on Edward Said, Ghada Karmi and Rema Hammami – followed by a final chapter on anthologised life 2 writing, which looks at the work of seven authors. Raising questions of form and how one deals with both the commonality and complexity of exile, this final chapter aims to show recent developments in English-language Palestinian life writing. By demonstrating the distinct ways in which exiled Palestinians relate to Palestine/Israel, this thesis seeks to contribute in particular towards two areas of study that have, for the most part, failed to engage substantially enough with Palestine (or, indeed, with each other): postcolonial and auto/biography studies. These subfields of cultural criticism and their wealth of scholarship therefore provide the necessary tools for this research, but they are also held to account for the relative lack of attention paid to Palestine and the extant nature of the conflict. Ultimately, I hope to demonstrate that exilic Palestinian life writing sheds its own light on matters of great import to postcolonial and auto/biography studies – matters such as statelessness, belonging, testimony, selfhood and self- representation – and that there are intersecting aesthetic and ethical reasons for ensuring the visibility of Palestine within these areas of study. This thesis follows the latest (8th) edition of the MLA referencing style. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes most to the guidance and encouragement of Professor Caroline Rooney, who has made my time as a doctoral student so rewarding. Her wise and perceptive feedback at every stage has been instrumental in helping me form my ideas. She has also made it possible for me to publish, undertake research trips and participate in conferences. I could not have asked for more in a supervisor and I feel very fortunate. Sincere thanks must also go to Bashir Abu-Manneh, who has provided valuable insight and perspective. I have been lucky to receive academic advice (and often moral support) from many brilliant people during my doctoral studies. In particular: Dominika Blachnicka-Ciacek, Hannah Boast, Norbert Bugeja, Joe Farag, Cynthia Franklin, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Claire Gallien, Anna Hartnell, Alice Hazard, Jade Munslow Ong, Nora Parr and Irene Fernandez Ramos. Special thanks are due to Barbara Franchi, who has always been so generous with her advice and support. On my research trips to Palestine/Israel, I met many kind people, especially at the University of Birzeit, where I spent a term in 2013. I want to thank in particular Ashjan Ashour, Rema Hammami and Islah Jad. I also want to thank the organisers of the International Conference of Critical Geography 2015 in Ramallah and East Jerusalem, which brought together so many inspiring scholars and generated ideas and knowledge I still call on. Thanks also to the people I met at the Sakakini Cultural Centre in Ramallah, The Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem (especially Ahmad!) and the Kenyon Institute in Sheikh Jarrah. I thank my Arabic teacher, Nizar Taha Hajj Ahmad, for his knowledge and encouragement, as well as always going above and beyond to share material that he thought I would appreciate and benefit from. 4 To my friends Hazel Driver, Elena Hall, Georgie Hayden and Tatyana Guveli, for always helping me get perspective on things. Particular thanks to Jo Maxwell, who has been nothing short of amazing, offering boundless support and wisdom. I am lucky to call you my friend. To my parents, Ulla and Jonathan Brown, for their inexhaustible love and kindness. You have helped shape the person I am, and whatever qualities I have, I owe to you. To my sister Anna Brown, for her unstinting encouragement and genuine interest in my work; you have made everything so much easier. To my grandmother, Elina Mikkonen: kiitos mummi kaikesta tuesta ja huolenpidosta. Se on merkinnyt minulle paljon. To Jonathan Liew, for his exceptional patience and good humour. I’m sure this is a relatively routine admission for a PhD student to make to their partner but I am sincerely grateful for everything. For being the best subeditor I could have hoped for and for giving me his time, even when under his own substantial work pressures and writing deadlines, I am beyond thankful. Finally, I owe a great deal to Bart Moore-Gilbert. Attending Bart’s MA courses at Goldsmiths over ten years ago opened my eyes to Palestinian life writing (and more) and changed the way I look at the world. Subsequently, Bart became a friend and mentor and I will always be so grateful to him for his encouragement, his guidance – especially when I was navigating a return to academia and unsure of how to proceed – and most of all, for his belief in me. For all the ongoing conversations cut short by his death in 2015 I continue to feel a sense of loss, but I am and will always be deeply appreciative of his work and everything he did for me. This thesis is therefore dedicated to him. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS Thesis Abstract 2 Acknowledgements 4 Introduction 8 Internal and External Exile 15 Settler Colonialism and Postcolonial Studies 21 Palestinian Life Writing and Auto/biography Studies 31 Outline of this Thesis 46 Chapter One – ‘There are things to be learned’: Edward Said’s Sublimation of Exile 53 Exile and the Intellectual 55 Exile and Palestine 59 Irreconcilability 61 After the Last Sky 64 Actual and Metaphorical Exile 68 Defensive Nationalism 73 Intertextuality 78 Out of Place 90 Illness and Out of Place 93 Being Out of Place: Becoming Palestinian 100 Out of Place: ‘A form of freedom’ 111 Conclusion 114 Chapter Two – The Primacy of Place: Exile and Return in the Work of Ghada Karmi 119 Place and Space 122 In Search of Fatima 126 The Loss of Home: Trauma and its Repercussions 127 Palestine: ‘The tortured love affair that waited inescapably for me’ 139 ‘The source, the origin, the very place’: Returning to Palestine 145 Return 152 Compelled to Return 153 ‘This denuded Palestine’: Returning ‘home’ 159 6 Disconnections and Despondency 163 Conclusion 173 Chapter Three – Returning to Internal Exile: Rema Hammami’s Negotiation of Inside and Outside 177 East Jerusalem 185 Qalandiya Checkpoint 203 Jaffa 218 Conclusion 233 Chapter Four – The Commonality of Exile: Anthologised Palestinian Life Writing 237 Anthologising Palestinian Life Writing 239 Disrupted Belonging: Narrating Internal Exile 251 Raja Shehadeh 251 Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian and Sarah Ihmoud 258 Reaching for Palestine: The Denial of Return 267 Rana Barakat 268 Randa Jarrar 274 Ties to Palestine: The Inheritance of Exile 280 Mischa Hiller 281 Najla Said 288 Conclusion 296 Conclusion 299 Bibliography 315 ! 7 INTRODUCTION There are many different kinds of Palestinian experience, which cannot all be assembled into one.

  • PALESTINIAN WALKS by Raja Shehadeh Chapter 1
    PALESTINIAN WALKS by Raja Shehadeh Chapter 1 The sarha As a child I used to hear how my grandfather, Judge Saleem, liked nothing more than coming to Ramallah in the hot summer and going on a sarha with his cousin, Abu Ameen, leaving behind the humid coastal city of Jaffa and the stultifying colonial administration which he served and whose politics he detested. It was mainly young men who went on these expeditions. They would take a few provisions and go to the open hills, disappear for the whole day, sometimes for weeks and months. They often didn’t have a particular destination. To go on a sarha was to roam freely, at will, without restraint. The verb form of the word means to let the cattle out to pasture early in the morning, leaving them to wander and graze at liberty. The commonly used noun sarha is a colloquial corruption of the classical word. A man going on a sarha wanders aimlessly, not restricted by time and place, going where his spirit takes him to nourish his soul and rejuvenate himself. But not any excursion would qualify as a sarha. Going on a sarha implies letting go. It is a drug-free high, Palestinian-style. This book is a series of six sarhat (the plural of sarha) through time and place that take place on various Palestinian hills, sometimes alone and sometimes in the company of different Palestinians from the past and present – my grandfather’s cousin, the stonemason and farmer, and the human rights and political activists of more recent times, who were colleagues in my struggle against the destruction being wrought on the hills.

  • “No Political Solution: the Occupation of Palestinian Narrative in Raja Shehadeh” John Randolph Leblanc University of Texas at Tyler
    “No Political Solution: The Occupation of Palestinian Narrative in Raja Shehadeh” John Randolph LeBlanc University of Texas at Tyler For the Palestinian people, the “political” means being caught between “democratic” Israel’s occupation/domination and collaboration by their own democratically-elected “leaders.”1 Consequently, Palestinians have found it very difficult to find and articulate a functional political imaginary that addresses their everyday conditions and concerns. In this essay, I begin seeking possible sources for such an imaginary in the work of Raja Shehadeh, the lawyer, human rights activist, and writer from Ramallah. Of particular concern is his series of diaries written during various occupations and other Israeli incursions into the West Bank where he still lives.2 Shehadeh’s experience of everyday life under occupation and his various resistances to it force us to unmask the “democratic” at work in Palestine/Israel and push our understanding of the political beyond the Schmittian friend-enemy distinction to the need for a politics that serves human beings before even more abstract commitments. Since the summer of 1967, occupation/domination has been the principal mode of political interaction between the democratic state of Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. While within the state of Israel we can find the forms and institutions of democracy at work, at least for its Jewish citizens,3 neither Israel’s justifications nor its administration of the frequent occupations of Palestinian territories are consistent with the stated ideals affiliated with liberal democracy: respect for persons and their property, freedom of movement, ordered access to basic services (from sustenance to work to education), and the substantive as well as procedural protections of the rule of law.4 Absent these possibilities and in the presence of the domination of occupation, we nonetheless may find the seeds of democratic possibilities in practices that emerge in resistance to occupation/domination.

It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

  • Resisting Development: Land and Labour in Israeli, Palestinian and Sri Lankan Literature Nicola Anne Robinson Phd University Of
    Resisting Development: Land and Labour in Israeli, Palestinian and Sri Lankan Literature ! Nicola Anne Robinson ! ! PhD ! University of York ! English ! September 2014 ! ! ABSTRACT ! This thesis examines literary representations which depict the evolution of capitalist development in narratives by Israeli, Palestinian and Sri Lankan writers. This comparative study is the first of its kind to bring the contexts of Israel/Palestine and Sri Lanka together. Collectively, my chapters analyse a range of literary texts by writers including Yosef Brenner, Sahar Khalifeh, Punyakante Wijenaike and Ambalavaner Sivanandan which explore the separatist ethnonational conflicts. I focus on narratives which critique the dominant discourse of development in their societies, through the formal and literary strategies that the writers utilise such as utopia, realism and melodrama. I argue that the texts I consider draw attention to the impact of uneven development on the content and form of literature in order to resist the current dispensation. This resistance is invaluable when one considers that development continues to be a contentious and divisive issue in Israel/Palestine, Sri Lanka and beyond today, yet one that has clear implications for sustainable peace. As a result, my research highlights that literature can play an invaluable role in anticipating, if not imagining, alternatives to the current world order. ! ! ! ! ! ! !2 Table of Contents !

  • Raja Shehadeh
    Interview Dr. Daniel Stahl Quellen zur Geschichte der Menschenrechte Raja Shehadeh Criticism of Israeli human rights violations had been constantly addressed by the Eastern bloc and the decolonized states at the UN. However, in the Western public realm, information about Israeli human rights violations in the occupied territories only started to circulate in the beginning of the 1980s when organizations like the International Commission of Jurists, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch seized on and began to report on the issue. Raja Shehadeh (born in 1951), a young lawyer who had studied in London, played a crucial role in providing these organizations with information. He founded Al-Haq, the first Palestinian human rights organization, which enabled him to systematically collect evidence of state violence in the occupied territories. At the same time, working as a lawyer, he had access to information about many different cases of human rights violations. Interview The interview with Raja Shehadeh was conducted by Dr. Daniel Stahl, coordinator of the Study Group Human Rights in the 20th Century, on September 5, 2016, at the lawyer’s office in Ramallah. The only contact between the two before the interview had been via Email. Beginning at 11 PM, Shehadeh spoke for two and a half hours in a fluent English about his experiences, interrupted once in a while by a phone call. The interview was conducted in connection with two other conversations with Bassem Eid and Gadi Algazi about human rights activism in Israel. Stahl First of all, I would like to hear about your family background. Shehadeh I was born in Ramallah in 1951.
