A Struggling Voice From Palestine: Samih Al-qasim And Resistance Poetry

Authors : Masood Khaled .

Abstract

This study examines how the Palestinian national writer Samih Al-Qasim's poetry represents the diplomatic and non-diplomatic struggle of the Palestinians for legitimacy to establish a free and independent state. Al-Qasim has made the hopes and reality of the Palestinian nation tangible via his traumatic past of exile and social or ideological awareness. He questions the validity of protracted Israeli domination while highlighting the necessity of intellectual and diplomatic opposition to the colonization regime's slow expansion. The researcher seeks to demonstrate the breadth of Al-Qasim's creative outputs by analyzing his lyrical works and insightful contribution to the contentious global political problem of colonial domination defiance. The study is of great importance as it covers the poet's hopeful predictions for Palestinians' future and potential resolutions to the colonial issue the nation is now experiencing. The researcher uses a qualitative approach to analyze Samih Al-Qasim's resistance poetry.
