By engaging with the cultural and historical contexts that inform these narratives, the study not only highlights the unique contributions of Matar and Aboulela to Anglophone Arab literature but also advances scholarly understanding of how literature can illuminate the lived realities of diaspora. Ultimately, this research contributes to the evolving field of diaspora studies by foregrounding the voices and perspectives of Arab writers, offering nuanced insights into the formation of identity, the persistence of memory, and the search for home in a transnational worldThis study offers a comprehensive exploration of the concept of diaspora as depicted in the works of two prominent Anglophone Arab novelists, Hisham Matar and Leila Aboulela. Focusing on Matar’s In the Country of Men and Anatomy of a Disappearance, alongside Aboulela’s The Translator and Minaret, the research delves into the intricate portrayals of identity, displacement, and cultural negotiation that characterize the Arab diasporic experience. Through a comparative literary analysis, the study examines how these authors articulate the psychological and social complexities faced by individuals and communities navigating life between homelands and host societies.Hisham Matar’s In the CountryConceptualizing Diaspora in Hisham Matar’s In the Country of Men and Anatomy of a Disappearance and Leila Aboulela’s The Translator and Minaret
