AB This thesis offers a study of the identity issues that displaced people face while in exile, and ofhow literary works help in illustrating such struggles. To provide practical examples of exilicstruggle and identity challenges, the study centers on two memoirs, Hisham Matar’s The Returnand Edward Said’s Out of Place. With the increased hostility in the political and economiccontext internationally, the number of people living in exile is likely to be on the increase in thenext few decades around the world. This study underlines the role of literary works in describingand exposing different types of social injustices and identity issues in relation to the violation ofthe human rights generally faced by people living in exile. The analysis centers on Matar's andSaid's memoirs to delve into several literary and cultural elements, such as multilingualism,space and place, and multiculturalism, that the authors use to explore identity issues of people inexile.
