Collective memory transforms historical events into political
myths. In this book, Tamir Sorek considers the development of
collective memory and national commemoration among the Palestinian
citizens of Israel. He charts the popular politicization of four
key events-the Nakba, the 1956 Kafr Qasim Massacre, the 1976 Land
Day, and the October 2000 killing of twelve Palestinian citizens in
Israel-and investigates a range of commemorative sites, including
memorial rallies, monuments, poetry, the education system,
political summer camps, and individual historical remembrance.
These sites have become battlefields between diverse social forces
and actors-including Arab political parties, the Israeli government
and security services, local authorities, grassroots organizations,
journalists, and artists-over representations of the past.
Palestinian commemorations are uniquely tied to Palestinian
encounters with the Israeli state apparatus, with Jewish Israeli
citizens of Israel, and by their position as Israeli citizens
themselves. Reflecting longstanding tensions between Palestinian
citizens and the Israeli state, as well as growing pressures across
Palestinian societies within and beyond Israel, these moments of
commemoration distinguish Palestinian citizens not only from Jewish
citizens, but from Palestinians elsewhere. Ultimately, Sorek shows
that Palestinian citizens have developed commemorations and a
collective memory that offers both moments of protest and points of
dialogue, that is both cautious and circuitous.
