The Palestine Nakba by Nur Masalha
Decolonising History, Narrating the Subaltern, Reclaiming Memory
This study reconstructs the 1948 Palestinian catastrophe by documenting the mass expulsions, village destructions, land expropriations and the resulting refugee crisis, while interrogating how official narratives have obscured or distorted Palestinian experience. Drawing on archival records, maps, oral testimony and critical historiography, it challenges dominant Israeli and Western accounts, foregrounds the politics of memory and dispossession, and argues for recognition of Palestinian rights and the centrality of memory in demands for justice and return.
