All national identities are somewhat fluid, held together by
collective beliefs and practices as much as official territory and
borders. In the context of the Palestinians, whose national status
in so many instances remains unresolved, the articulation and
`imagination' of national identity is particularly urgent. This
book explores the ways that Palestinian intellectuals, artists,
activists and ordinary citizens `imagine' their homeland, examining
the works of key Palestinian thinkers and writers such as Edward
Said, Mahmoud Darwish, Mourid Barghouti, Ghassan Kanafani and Naji
Al Ali. Deploying Benedict Anderson's notion of `Imagined
Communities' and Edward Soja's theory of `Third Space', Tahrir
Hamdi argues that the imaginative construction of Palestine is a
key element in the Palestinians' ongoing struggle. An
interdisciplinary work drawing upon critical theory, postcolonial
studies and literary analysis, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars of Palestine and Middle East studies and
Arabic literature.
