This paper examines resistance in exile through the lens of diasporic consciousness in the works of Palestinian novelist Sahar Khalifeh. Drawing upon feminist and postcolonial frameworks, it explores how Khalifeh’s novels portray the struggles of Palestinians living under occupation and in diaspora, highlighting the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural survival. Her narratives, particularly Wild Thorns (1976) and The Inheritance (2005), illustrate how Palestinians experience exile not only as physical displacement but also as an internal fragmentation of the self, marked by alienation and hybridity. Khalifeh’s female characters are shown to face dual oppressions of colonialism and patriarchy, yet they also embody resilience and agency through cultural, linguistic, and everyday forms of resistance. By situating Khalifeh’s writing within wider postcolonial discourse, this study argues that her work itself constitutes a form of cultural resistance that preserves memory and resists erasure. The analysis contributes to ongoing debates in diaspora and feminist postcolonial studies by identifying the intersections of gender, identity, and exile in Palestinian literature.
