Voices of the Nakba

Zusatztext

<p>***Winner of an English PEN Award 2021***</p><p>During the 1948 war more than 750,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were violently expelled from their homes by Zionist militias. The legacy of the Nakba - which translates to disaster or catastrophe - lays bare the violence of the ongoing Palestinian plight.</p><p><em>Voices of the Nakba</em> collects the stories of first-generation Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, documenting a watershed moment in the history of the modern Middle East through the voices of the people who lived through it.</p><p>The interviews, with commentary from leading scholars of Palestine and the Middle East, offer a vivid journey into the history, politics and culture of Palestine, defining Palestinian popular memory on its own terms in all its plurality and complexity.</p>
