Rami Abu Shihab (born 25 July 1974) is a Palestinian-Jordanian writer and academic critic specializing in literary criticism, cultural studies and post-colonial discourse.
Early life and education
Shihab was born in 1974 in Jordan, seven years after the Naksa, the displacement of Palestinians following the Six-Day War. He completed his primary and secondary education in Jordan, and earned a bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Literature from Mutah University, where he developed an early appreciation for the role of language in exploring identity and addressing marginalization.
