The Representation of War Trauma on Palestinian Families in Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin

Öz

Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin describes the war trauma experienced by Palestinian families. The novel deals with individual histories by focusing on historical events, and it depicts how trauma is inherited and transformed from one generation to another as time flows. The effect of war trauma shows itself in a variety of ways, such as physical and mental health problems, disordered family dynamics, and the attempt to maintain cultural identity despite external factors. In other words, Abulhawa's work discovers the intergenerational effects of conflict, displacement, and loss on Palestinian societies and offers a distressing depiction of how war extends into every aspect of life. This study examines the psychological, emotional, and cultural consequences of trauma experienced by characters, especially women and children, in terms of continuing political violence. It also analyzes the novels' narrative techniques, character development, and thematic concerns, and examines how Abulhawa expresses the lasting legacy of trauma, resilience, and the search for identity in the face of seemingly undefeatable harsh conditions. Moreover, Abulhawa benefits from the perception of exile to find out the psychological dimensions of war trauma since the characters' displacement from their hometown produces a deep sense of displacement and alienation, which increases their trauma. From this perspective, the study aims to demonstrate how Abulhawa illuminates the complexities of war trauma of Palestinian families by highlighting the resilience, dignity, and enduring hope of those who live through it in her Mornings in Jenin.
