Ihab Saloul addresses  central concepts to debates over identity such as nostalgia and trauma, notions  of home and forced travel, and geopolitical continuity of loss of place. Through  an integrated method of close narrative and discursive analysis of diverse  literary texts, films, and personal narratives, this study offers an analytical  account of the preservation of cultural optimism in the face of the ongoing  catastrophe, as well as the ways in which aesthetics and politics intersect in  contemporary Palestinian culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-05-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349433599\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137001382\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 259\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47507332399244,"sku":"9781349433599","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349433599.jpg?v=1775958858","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349433599","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
