Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba
Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba
Nakba, when over 750,000 people were uprooted and forced to flee their homes in
the early days of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even today, the bitterness
and trauma of the Nakba remains raw, and it has become the pivotal event both
in the shaping of Palestinian identity and in galvanising the resistance to
occupation.
Unearthing an
unparalleled body of rich oral testimony, An
Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba tells the story of this epochal event
through the voices of the Palestinians who lived it, uncovering remarkable new
insights both into Palestinian experiences of the Nakba and into the wider
dynamics of the ongoing conflict. Drawing together Palestinian accounts from
1948 with those of the present day, the book confronts the idea of the Nakba as
an event consigned to the past, instead revealing it to be an ongoing process
aimed at the erasure of Palestinian memory and history. In the process, each unique
and wide-ranging contribution leads the way for new directions in Palestinian
scholarship.
