| Abstract | ||
| This research examines the novel "Watan Min Dhabab" by the Kurdish writer Jan Dost، as a literary work that reflects crises of identity and belonging in a complex political and cultural context. This study relied on a cultural criticism approach to analyze the novel، focusing on four main issues: psychological reality، self- and physical breakdown، the subversion of religious culture، and the subversion of female centrality. The novel presents a narrative intertwined between history and myth، based on the experience of the Kurdish Republic of Mahabad. The analysis reveals how the characters represent internal and external conflicts، representing the suffocation of identities under political and social pressure. The research highlights the ideological and cultural dimensions hidden behind the narrative discourse، emphasizing that the novel is not merely a narrative but a symbolic resistance to cultural hegemony. | ||
