  • 摘要:AbstractThis paper is part of an on-going research that is being conducted on the quest for identity inMornings in Jenin. The paper investigates the effects of Amal's journey who witnessed traumatic changes and transformation. The novel chronicles four generations of a Palestinian family from 1948 to the present day. The author, Susan Abulhawa, is a Palestinian-American writer who was born to Palestinian refugees of the 1967 war. The argument is based on Johann Herder's theory of national identity and John Locke's theory of memory and personal identity. The findings display the significance of memory and remembering on identity construction.
