Below is a description of the book by W. J. T. Mitchell, The University of
Chicago, and author of What Do Pictures Want?: The Lives and Loves of Images
"The catastrophic expulsion of the Palestinian people from their homeland in
1948 is a historic injustice that demands the attention of the entire world.
Americans, Israelis, and Jews in every nation must especially give heed to
this astonishing collection of masterful essays. Far from being a melancholy
assemblage of anger and self-pity, this book is a major political and
scholarly achievement, reflecting deeply on the traumatic roots of national
identity, the role of memory and amnesia, history and mythical narrative,
legal doctrine and eyewitness testimony, women's experience, men's business,
and lost places found again in song, story, and film. This is essential
reading for anyone who longs for a just settlement to 'the question of
Palestine,' the question of the Middle East, or, indeed, the establishment
of a world order of peace and justice."
