Counter-hegemony is part of the process that questions or threatens dominant ideological frameworks. Particularly, Palestinian-American writers resist the American and Israeli hegemony through recovering the relationship with their homeland. For those writers, home place produces several symbols of resistance. A sense of place requires boundaries where there is an identifiable notion of what is outside or beyond one's sense of place or home. It is crucial in understanding one's identity and plays a role in the physical, emotional, and even spiritual configurations of a sense of self. Throughout such boundaries, Palestinian-American writers explore the place as a physical, psychological, ideological, historical, and environmental construct where they question and alter these constructions to challenge the dominant mainstream hegemony. Suheir Hammad, a Palestinian-American poet, attempts to recover a sense of home, identity, nation, and place in response to various forms of displacement and oppression. She creates a terrain in which she inhabits a space that allows her to challenge the dominant hegemony and create a liminal space. It is the aim of this paper to examine Suheir Hammad's poetry as a counter-hegemonic discourse which enables her to recover the relationship between her place and identity and to resist the mainstream hegemony. The paper argues that Hammad's poetry is not only voicing resistance against the collective silencing of the plighted Palestinians and the othering of Arabs, but as itself a form of counter-hegemony. Finally, the paper aims to explore how Hammad manipulates certain poetic form, style and tactics as tools to serve her purposes.
