Kassem Fatma - Palestinian Women Narrative Histories And Gendered Memory - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Palestinian Women is the first book to examine and document the experiences and the historical narrative of ordinary Palestinian women who witnessed the events of 1948 and became involuntary citizens of the State of Israel. Told in their own words the women's experiences serve as a window for examining the complex intersections of gender nationalism and citizenship in a situation of ongoing violent political conflict. Known in Palestinian discourse as the Nakbeh' or the Catastrophe' these events of 60 years ago still have a powerful resonance in contemporary Palestinian - Jewish relations in the State of Israel and in the act of narrating these stories the author argues that the realm of memory is a site of commemoration and resistance.
