Abstract
Exile for Edward Said was a painful yet enriching condition. Indeed, exile accounted for his extraordinary productivity in theorising about and strategising for social justice for the displaced, the marginalised, the silenced. He spoke specifically on the exile of Palestinians from their historic homes but his insights apply to all subjects and subjectivities suffering from hegemonic oppression and stultification. Drawing on his volume, Reflections on Exile and Other Essays (2001), this article extends upon Said's understandings of exile to devise strategies for a postcolonial-feminist emancipatory agenda.
