Abstract:
This papers attempts to investigate the representation of diasporic
characters in fictional narrative discourse by Anglophone Arab woman
writerwho lives in Britain namely Leila Aboulela. She seeks to negotiate
issues of identity, home, hybridity and culture by dislocating the narrative
linearity. These notions are interrogated in her recent novel The Kindness of
Enemies (2015). It discusses the process of establishing a bridge of
coexistence and tolerance amid cultural and religious differences .Moreover,
the current paper traces the crisis of identity, particularly when it is difficult
to assimilate and acculturate. The novel offers penetrations to construct a
transformative transcultural spaces of belonging.
Keywords: Identity, Dislocating, Belonging, Hybridity, Coexistence
