Abstract

Literary works are a reflection of society's social realities. Therefore, the sociology of literature can analyze a literary work from a social aspect. Marxist theory, as a lens of analysis, provides a sharp understanding of this. Najib Kailani, a writer influenced by his background and education in presenting literature of resistance, is one such example, particularly with his novel Hamamahus Salaam. This research employs a descriptive analytic method, with data collected in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues. The study focuses on class conflict and the forms of proletarian resistance in Najib Kailani's novel Hamamahus Salaam. The research findings analyze and identify class conflict symptoms that arise due to: 1)Exploitation and oppression, 2)Social awareness, 3)Superstructure alignment. Furthermore, the forms of resistance observed include, 1) Proletarian class consciousness, 2)Collective rejection, 3)Repressive sabotage, 4)Group formation, 5) Direct action and threats of murder
