المستخلص: This article attempts to investigate diasporic experience in Mohammed Abdul-Wali'sThey Die Strangers and bring about its effects on the Yemeni émigrés. It engages with emigration and its attendant experiences that encompass the emigrants, their family and homeland. It explores the diverse traumatic experiences of the Yemeni expatriates in their adopted land, like the emigrants' aspirations, crisis of identity, alienation, abandoning values, the impact of emigration, the need for redemption and the collapse of the Yemeni emigres' dream. It examines the factors that contribute to their predicament. An attempt is made to read the selected narrative from a postcolonial perspective. The paper aims at unravelling the fractured, battered psyche of the protagonist and his creator. It ponders on the problems of migration due to the on-going civil war and its catastrophic repercussions that corrode the collective Yemeni psyche. It attempts to build a connection between the current Yemeni diasporas and the diaspora portrayed in the novella during the oppressive Imamate rule of Yemen. It concludes with asserting the perils of emigration and its concomitant diasporic life and the idea that the past and the present are intertwined in Abdul Wali's fictional world which accords the novel a sense of momentum and continuum.
