Abstract

Post colonialism has become an inherent issue in everyday life, especially related to the culture and perspective of the people affected by colonization. The concept of post colonialism is also related to the psychological impact experienced by the victims . It leads the researcher to analyze the psychological impacts experienced by the characters in the novel A Little Piece of Ground by Elizabeth Laird, which presents the story of the struggle of Palestinians who were occupied and colonialized by Israel. The researcher aims to discover how the concept of post colonialism and its practice cause psychological impacts on the characters of the novel. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method to analyze and define the data. The researcher also uses Hook (2008)’s theory of post colonial psychoanalysis, which is divided into neurosis, melancholia, and paranoia. The results indicate that the three psychological effects of post colonialism are found on the characters, such as : 1) neurosis related to colonia lism structures caused by the Israel invasion of Palestine, which also result in bearing isolation, robbery, violence, humiliation by the Israeli; 2) Melancholia represented through Karim who is experiencing depression and deep sadness which makes him f eel worthless and hopeless; and 3) Paranoia represented by Karim and his family in Ramallah who experience severe intimidation that provokes them to feel worried, fear, and cause several symptoms, such as sweating and body trembling.
