Traumatic Experience Depicted in Nadia Hashimi’s the Sky at Our Feet
Abstract
The Life of refugees is gregariously outrageous because of the illegality involved. The Afghan-American writers have been vociferous in highlighting difficulties involved in the life of refugees. The impact of threatening by the dominant forces in Afghanistan have made the life of natives difficult both in and out of Afghanistan. Nadia Hashimi’s works have focused on practical and emotional difficulties of Afghan people. The Sky at Our Feet is one such work that explores the emotional outburst of a boy, whose confrontation with the reality breaks him. His search for his mother is metaphorically connected with the search for his identity. This paper captures the trauma of a child named Jason, who undergoes traumatic experience upon learning about his identity.
