Description

A unique collection of images from Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book tells the story of a vibrant Palestinian society prior to Israel's establishment in 1948, known as the Nakba or "catastrophe" to Palestinians. The photographs in this book are traces of that existence that have not been erased. They appear in the ruins of a village whose name no longer appears on maps, in the drawing of a lost landscape, in the lyrics of a song, or in the photographs from a family album. Co-edited by Teresa Aranguren and Sandra Barrilaro, this book is a testament to the power of resistance. The book's bilingual edition allows readers to experience the story in both English and Arabic, highlighting the complexity and richness of Palestinian culture before occupation.
