Jerusalem currently stands at the center of a violent controversy that threatens the stability of both the Middle East and the world.

Wharton makes the innovative argument here that the West has also sought to possess Jerusalem by acquiring its representations.

Nakba: Palestine, 1948, and the Claims of Memory
ISBN: 9780231135788 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For outside observers, current events in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank are seldom related to the collective memory of ordinary Palestinians. But for Palestinians themselves, the iniquities of the present are experienced as a continuous replay of the injustice of the past. By focusing on memories of the Nakba or "catastrophe" of 1948, in which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were dispossessed to create the state of Israel, the contributors to this volume illuminate the contemporary Palestinian experience and clarify the moral claims they make for justice and redress. The book's...
