Zusammenfassung

Leila Abdelrazaq’s graphic memoir Baddawi (2015), an example of postmemory and testimonial writing, reconstructs her father’s childhood and teenage memoriesin the eponymous refugee camp in Lebanon. This chapter analyzes the graphic representations of violence and exile in Abdelrazaq’s work and the possibilities of illustratingboth through a non-naturalistic approach. Through visual and thematic analysis, thischapter attempts to answer whether Abdelrazaq is finally able to meet the ethical challenge of representing violence and Palestinian refugee identity in a comic suitable forall audiences.
