Abstract

The Syrian refugee crisis is one of the most urgent problems that came to the forefront ten years ago, specifically in March 2011. At that time, the Arab Spring revolts had taken place in the Middle East in 2010 and to some extent achieved success in Tunisia and Egypt in 2011, so the Syrians believed they too could get rid of their authoritarian regime. Unfortunately, the protests in Syria have led to a civil war from which they are still suffering. Most of the protesters were either imprisoned or killed. Others ran for their lives and left Syria while the rest remained living under inhuman conditions. This paper aims to use the pluralistic model of trauma in Layla Al Ammar's, a Kuwaiti novelist, Silence is a Sense (2021) to understand the traumatic event and its impact on a Syrian refugee in addition to applying Renos K. Papadopoulos's framework of involuntary dislocation to analyze and describe the journey and experience of that traumatized Syrian refugee.
