Journal Article
Alienation in Susan Darraj's the Inheritance of Exile
2024
Overview
This article aims to investigate how two dimensions of Melvin Seeman's taxonomy of alienation are portrayed in Susan Darraj's The Inheritance of Exile. Seeman's study \"On the Meaning of Alienation\" discusses the concept of alienation from a social perspective, and postulates six basic patterns of alienation. Upon studying and analyzing Darraj's diasporic text, it becomes clear that two of Seeman's aspects, namely cultural estrangement and social isolation, appear in Darraj's text through narrating the lives of four Palestinian immigrant mothers and their American-born daughters. The study follows the analytical method through the area of diasporic fiction. It presents the theoretical framework, and then applies the two mentioned dimensions of alienation to Darraj's text from the perspective of feeling alienated from the homeland (Palestine) and the host land (Philadelphia) regarding mothers and their daughters. Thus, the study proves that Darraj has succeeded in portraying and revealing the manifestations, causes and consequences of the alienation of Arabs who live and grow up in a host country such as the United States of America.
