| dc.description.abstract | Refugees’ movements, displacement, and modern-day diaspora are considered the major phenomena that the world has to deal with in a period of worldwide tensions and wars. Therefore, homelessness and displacement in The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019) by Lefteri Christy are the main interests of this dissertation in which we explore what the refugees are facing along their journey to reach safe zones or to seek asylum. The selected novel highlights also the nature and reality of refugees after the Syrian war broke out, and it gives a truthful description of the effects of war and displacement on their spirits and lives. This study clarifies many terms which stand under the umbrella of displacement, including resettlement, loss, memory, nostalgia and belonging, as it deals with the historical context of the Syrian war and its origins. That is why, the first chapter deals with the historical background of the Syrian war in addition to the Arab Spring. Moreover, it tackles the concept of Diaspora by referring to some key texts in Diaspora studies. The second chapter analyzes the novel in light of important ideas of Diaspora studies and Postcolonialism in order to highlight the daily struggles of Syrian refugees and their nostalgia for their lost homelands. | en_US |
