The Psychic Crypt in the Blue between Sky and Water.

Abstract

Palestine-Israel conflict broke out immediately post the partition of Palestine by United Nations in 1948 to fulfil the longstanding demand of Zionist leaders for a separate nation for Jewish community. The Zionist forces expelled native Palestinians from their residential areas during the mayhem of 1948 and transformed their identity to that of refugees within their own homeland. The conflict has had physical as well as psychological ramifications on the displaced native Palestinians and this psychological trauma of the Palestinians is transmitted passively across the generations as well. The research paper shall explore the novel The Blue between Sky and Water and trace the portrayal of intergenerational trauma of the Palestinians through its character.
