Abstract:Arab society before Islam, like other societies, knew a central system that relied on the tribe as a basic nucleus for building society and enacting laws and systems to manage the affairs of social and economic life in peace and war. Anyone who did not follow the orbit of these organizations – even if they were unjust – or who opposed or criticized the central authority was marginalized. At all levels, marginalization is a human phenomenon that has not been devoid of time or place, because this is the norm of life, and the slogan of “I do not show you except what I see” is always in control, and in this research we will try to trace the reasons for the marginalization of the poet Antarah bin Shaddad al-Absi by his people, as he detailed them in the folds of his poetry, Where we extract the reasons for his disapproval and exclusion, represented by the blackness of his skin, his slavery, then his unknown lineage in the beginning of his life, and his daring to love his cousin and flirt with her in most of his poems. He went into detail in mentioning these factors affecting himself and his personality, and he also went into great detail in defending himself and imposing his deserved position.
