Many decades have passed since the Palestinian national movement
began its political and military struggle. In that time, poignant
memorials at massacre sites, a palimpsest of posters of young
heroes and martyrs, sorrowful reminiscences about lost loved ones,
and wistful images of young men and women who fought as guerrillas,
have all flourished in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and in
the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Heroes and Martyrs of
Palestine tells the story of how dispossessed Palestinians have
commemorated their past, and how through their dynamic everyday
narrations, their nation has been made even without the
institutional memory-making of a state. Bringing ethnography to
political science, Khalili invites us to see Palestinian
nationalism in its proper international context and traces its
affinities with Third Worldist movements of its time, while tapping
a rich and oft-ignored seam of Palestinian voices, histories, and
memories.
