Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana trauma kultural yang berkaitan dengan inhuman citizenship yang dialami oleh Nahr dan masyarakat Palestina pada umumnya dalam novel Against the Loveless World karya Susan Abulhawa. Penelitian ini mengacu pada konsep teori memori kolektif dari Maurice Halbwach, Konsep trauma kultural dari Jeffrey Alexander dan konsep teori inhuman citizenship dari Juliana Chang. Peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan melihat teks narasi yang merepresentasikan trauma kultural dan bentuk dari inhuman citizenship dalam novel. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa novel Against the Loveless World merupakan karya sastra yang merepresentasikan trauma kultural yang disebabkan oleh pengusiran, kekerasan, dan penindasan masyarakat Yahudi terhadap masyarakat Palestina. dengan menerapkan teori Jeffrey Alexander, pertama peneliti menemukan adanya representasi trauma Kulturalyang dipengaruhi oleh proses sosial dalam novel melalui pengusiran, diskriminasi dan stratifikasi sosial, serta adanya penindasan melalui opresi politik terhadap penduduk Palestina oleh masyarakat Yahudi dan juga Israel. Kedua, peneliti menemukan juga bahwa inhuman citizenship (kewarganegaraan yang tidak manusiawi), direpresentasikan oleh tindakan masyarakat Yahudi sebagai penjajah dan predikat humiliated citizenship (kewarganegaraan yang dipermalukan) sebagai buah dari perlakuan masyarakat Kuwait terhadap masyarakat Palestina yang tinggal di negara tersebut. Inhuman citizenship kemudian selanjutnya memperparah trauma kultural.
