About the Author :
Akram Al Deek is an Assistant Professor at the American University of Madaba, Jordan. Al Deek is a Palestinian writer and lecturer in post-colonial studies, world literatures, and cultural and literary theory. Subsequent to his family's exile from Palestine, he was born in Jordan (German by nationality) and spent his entire twenties working and studying in England. Al Deek is currently working on his semi-autobiographical memoir, The Eucalyptus Tree: Episodes of Dispersals.

Review :
yet still under-discoursed, displacement in Akram Al Deek's book is analysed across a range of post-colonial hybridities, none more authentically than that inflected by his own experience as a third generation Palestinian exile, making Writing Displacement a compelling read." - Geoffery Nash, Senior Lecturer, Sunderland University, UK, and author of From Empire to Orient and Culture and Civilization in the Middle East "Akram Al Deek's study of the literature of displacement is a bold attempt to read two important generations of Black British writers through the template of the Palestinian experience. Against any fashionable predilection for seeing the displaced as necessarily nomadic, Al Deek argues for the complexity of the forms of identity and attachment that follow from the fact of displacement as they are articulated by writers originating in Africa, the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan." - Patrick Williams, Professor, Nottingham Trent University, UK, and author of Edward Said and Post-colonial Theory and Literatures
