Ibtisam Barakat was three years old during the 1967 War. The aftermath of the war constructs the core of her autobiography, Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood. She narrates her personal experience as a three-year-old child facing a constant removal from many places inside and outside Palestine. There are three elements that Tasting the Sky unfolds as a narrative of a displaced person writing autobiography: the intimate relationship with family, the absence of home, and the presence of writing as an alternative for settlement. This autobiography fits a subcategory I call displaced autobiography. It documents and creates an unsettled life of an author who identifies with the rest of her displaced people as being physically homeless and emotionally home-bound. Barakat recalls how the first steps of escaping warplanes resulted in dramatic events such as having no time to put on both shoes and being separated from her family during the night. Displaced autobiography is not just a life described in print; it is rather a written journey that takes the reader from one place to another--in Barakat's case, nine times of forced departures in Palestine and Jordan occur before the book is over! Informed by theories of autobiography and postcolonialism, this paper gives a working definition for the term, "displaced autobiography" and its characteristics as demonstrated by Tasting the Sky. It also analyzes the major three elements that illustrate the working of displacement in the creation of such a moving text.
