***Winner of an English PEN Award 2021***During the 1948 war more than 750,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were violently expelled from their homes by Zionist militias. The legacy of the Nakba - which translates to ' disaster' or ' catastrophe' - lays bare the violence of the ongoing Palestinian plight. Voices of the Nakba collects the stories of first-generation Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, documenting a watershed moment in the history of the modern Middle East through the voices of the people who lived through it. The interviews, with commentary from leading scholars of Palestine and the Middle East, offer a vivid journey into the history, politics and culture of Palestine, defining Palestinian popular memory on its own terms in all its plurality and complexity.
' Moving and thoughtful [. . . ] With their silences, ellipses and jags of storytelling, the refugee voices invite us to imagine the lives torn asunder by the violence of the Nakba' -- Laleh Khalili, Queen Mary University of London and author of ' Heroes and Martyrs of Palestine: The Politics of National Commemoration' (CUP, 2019)
Diana Allan is Assistant Professor at McGill University. She is a filmmaker and the co-founder of the Nakba Archive.
