Israeli and Palestinian Identities in History and Literature
Angebote / Angebote:
In this ground-breaking volume, scholars from the fields of literature, history, political science, and sociology come together to exchange new insights on the Arab-Israeli conflict. They examine how events in the region since the 1940s have affected Israeli and Palestinian concepts of identity, on either side of the cease-fire lines of 1949 and in exile communities in the region and abroad. As the Palestinian poet Fawaz Turki says, 'History and history-making is everyone's milieu in our part of the world, ' and the contributors reveal the extent to which politics and history inform the Israeli and Palestinian literary imagination. This multi-disciplinary approach allows the essayists to interweave a variety of sources to form an integrated picture of Israeli and Palestinian national identities, including historical documents, public opinion surveys, film, fiction, and poetry. The essays conclude with a round-table discussion, a rare opportunity for scholars in Israeli and Palestinian studies to share each other's understanding of what is central to the identities of each of these peoples.
