Adel Manna’s new history of what happened to the Palestinians who remained in what would become the Israeli state after the 1948 helps us understand how the Nakba was made of many personal Nakbas.

Nadim Bawalsa’s new book helps us rethink the right of return to encompass Palestinians who were prevented from returning to their homes by the British Mandate’s policies, well before the Nakba. In doing so, the book adds a new layer to our understanding of Palestinian dispossession, which began long before 1948.

Nadya Hajj powerfully conveys how new technologies make, re-make, and occasionally unmake ties in the global Palestinian community.
