Description
The year 2012 marks the 63rd anniversary of the Nakba, the most traumatic catastrophe that ever befell Palestinians. The Palestine Nakba explores new ways of remembering and commemorating the Nakba.
In the context of Palestinian oral history, the book delves into 'social history from below,' examining subaltern narratives of memory and the formation of collective identity. Nur Masalha argues that writing more truthfully about the Nakba is not just a practice of professional historiography but an ethical imperative.
The struggles of ordinary refugees to recover and publicly assert the truth about the Nakba are seen as vital ways of protecting their rights and keeping the hope for peace with justice alive.
This book is essential for understanding the place of the Nakba at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the vital role of memory in narratives of truth and reconciliation.
