Catastrophe and Exile in the Modern Palestinian Imagination
explores the cultural memory of al-Nakba (1948 Israeli
independence, or The Catastrophe as it is known in Palestine) and
its significance to the modern Palestinian imagination. Ihab Saloul
addresses concepts central to debates on identity such as nostalgia
and trauma, notions of home and forced travel, and geopolitical
continuity of loss of place. Through an integrated method of close
narrative and discursive analysis of a variety of literary texts,
films, and personal narratives, this study offers an analytical
account of the preservation of cultural optimism in the face of the
ongoing catastrophe, as well as the ways in which aesthetics and
politics intersect in contemporary Palestinian culture.
