The Palestinian Novel
What happens to the Palestinian novel after the national dispossession of the nakba, and how do Palestinian novelists respond to this massive crisis? This is the first study in English to chart the development of the Palestinian novel in exile and under occupation from 1948 onwards.

Postmodern taboos were shattered, or so it seemed. The prophets of the mult…
