Home

By Vk Y

Home.In this haunting work of poetry, author VKY -Victoria Kabeya- writes an ode to Black Palestinian femininity and identity. Though invisible and inexistent to the eyes of the world, VKY belongs to a new Black Arab generation whose members use their voices to expose the many issues they have been facing. "Home" is an autobiographical work through which the author longs for the healing of her Black Palestinian/Canaanite maternal lineage, broken by the abandonment of her first female ancestor, Meta Pi. How can one survive as a Black Palestinian woman at a time when Zionism and Pan-arabism never made a space for the indigenous Black Canaanite community? Home embodies the mother, the ancestor but also the shattered land of Canaan."Home" reads like a mature departure from the very first works by Kabeya. It is a space for the traumatized hoping and waiting for a better day.
