Abstract
This research paper explores the impact of colonialism on Palestinian identity through an analysis of Adania Shibli's novel Minor Detail (2020). The paper first provides an introduction that highlights the importance of literature in conveying the Palestinian voice and examines the novel's narrative of power, violence, and resistance. The literature review section surveys previous research on the effects of colonialism on Palestinian identity, including Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), Raja Shehadeh's Palestinian Walks: Reflections on a Vanishing Landscape (2008), and the work of postcolonial theorists Frantz Fanon and Homi K. Bhabha. Through the analytical application of several post-colonial ideas from secondary sources, the researcher has discovered that post-colonial consequences have a notable impact on the Palestinians' identity, culture, and sense of self. The research aims to examine how colonialism has shaped Palestinian identity and how it is defined in relation to history and culture. The paper concludes by emphasizing the significance of uncovering buried truths and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression.
Keywords: Colonialism, Palestinian Identity, Israeli Occupation, Exile, Displacement.
