What happens to the Palestinian novel after the national
dispossession of the nakba, and how do Palestinian novelists
respond to this massive crisis? This is the first study in English
to chart the development of the Palestinian novel in exile and
under occupation from 1948 onwards. By reading the novel in the
context of the ebb and flow of Arab and Palestinian revolution,
Bashir Abu-Manneh defines the links between aesthetics and
politics. Combining historical analysis with textual readings of
key novels by Jabra, Kanafani, Habiby, and Khalifeh, the chronicle
of the Palestinian novel unfolds as one that articulates humanism,
self-sacrifice as collective redemption, mutuality, and
self-realization. Political challenge, hope, and possibility are
followed by the decay of collective and individual agency. Genet's
and Khoury's unrivalled literary homages to Palestinian revolt are
also examined. By critically engaging with Lukacs, Adorno, and
postcolonial theory, questions of struggle and self-determination
take centre stage.
