What is the meaning of 'backhand' here?
He hadn’t expected the backhand, only because he’d lost himself in his own rage.

Zane is being phyically abused by Graham. A backhand here means a blow that is struck with the back of the hand. I usually see it in the form 'a backhander'.

Backhand here refers to insulting, negative remarks, delivered forcefully.
It is a short form of the phrase "backhanded remarks."
See entry #3.
