Homeless in the World: The Survival Memoir of a Palestinian Woman

Raya Qabb  |  Creative and Critical Writings  |  2025  |  Palestine
Homeless in the World is both a personal diary and a testimony that imagines contemporary Palestine as a woman: burdened with exile and displacement, pursued across diasporas and borders, carrying the legacy of loss and uprooting and caught between occupation and repressive masculinity. Though an individual voice, it is not a solitary one. Rather, it joins a chorus of Palestinian voices that speak the same lexicon: diaspora, constant existential threats, forced displacement, placelessness and the search for a homeland in a perpetual state of redefinition.
