Zusammenfassung

The Southern Eye: Co-Seeing Displacements delves into the layered and poignant experiences of refugees, intertwining photography and prose to explore themes of memory, identity, and belonging. The book is a collaborative effort, blending the perspectives of Palestinian poet Yousif M. Qasmiyeh, migration scholar Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh, and photographer Saiful Huq Omi. Through powerful imagery and reflective narratives, the authors navigate the complexities of displacement, capturing moments that reveal the human condition in the face of loss and survival. This work not only documents the visible traces of refugee life but also evokes the unseen emotional landscapes that shape the lived experiences of those who are displaced.

Born and educated in Baddawi refugee camp, Yousif M. Qasmiyeh is a poet and translator whose doctoral research at the University of Oxford examines containment and the archive in 'refugee writing'. Time, the body, and ruination inform his poetry and prose, which have appeared in journals including Modern Poetry in Translation, Stand, Critical Quarterly, GeoHumanities, Cambridge Literary Review, PN Review, Poetry London and New England Review. Yousif is the Creative Encounters Editor of the Migration and Society journal, and his collection, Writing the Camp (Broken Sleep Books, 2021) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature's Ondaatje Prize.
