Abstract

This article responds to the relative neglect of Palestinian literature in postcolonial studies by exploring the possibility of Bakhtin’s chronotope as a useful tool in representing Palestinian postcoloniality. The chronotopes of walking and retuning in Raja Shehadeh’s Palestinian Walks (2008) and Susan Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin (2011) respectively sketch ways of challenging settler colonialism and reconstructing Palestinian history and geography.
