Place Identity And The Search For Home In Zainab Salbi's Between Two Worlds
Authors : Kahla Narimene . Benyeles Bedjaoui Fewzia .
Abstract
The notion of home is multilayered and complicated. Identifying oneself with a particular place and embracing it as a home is the creation of an emotional bond with it, a form of attachment that lasts as long as one feels safe in that place. Accordingly, multiple homes may also exist corresponding to one’s attachment to certain places in particular. Finding one’s home may sometimes become a process that results in one’s self-discovery and growth along the way. In this article, Zainab Salbi’s search for home(s) will be explored and analyzed throughout the different stages of her life. Between Two Worlds sketches the ambivalence that its author has undergone during her life in exile. Her identity formation, development and eventual maturity were determined by her continuous quest for home, and the woman she ultimately becomes is the result of her quest.
