| description | The Vanishing Half (2020) by Brit Bennett and Minor Detail (2017) by Adania Shibli are two novels that engage with themes of identity, race, and the impact of history on individual lives. Both delve into the complexities of identity and the concept of “passing” (performing life as belonging to one race, while belonging to another). In The Vanishing Half, the characters grapple with race as they navigate different racial identities and the consequences of their choices. Similarly, Minor Detail explores identity through the lens of ethnicity and nationality, particularly in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Both novels touch upon the lasting effects of history and inter-generational trauma, engaging with themes of race, identity, and the legacy of colonialism. |
