{"product_id":"9781642599800","title":"Against Erasure : A Photographic Memory of Palestine before the Nakba","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Palestine Book Awards 2024 Creative Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA unique, stunning collection of images of Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a testament to the vibrancy of Palestinian society prior to occupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book tells the story, in both English and Arabic, of a land full of people—people with families, hopes, dreams, and a deep connection to their home—before Israel's establishment in 1948, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or \"catastrophe.\" Denying Palestinian existence has been a fundamental premise of Zionism, which has sought not only to hide this existence but also to erase its memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut existence leaves traces, and the imprint of the Palestine that was remains, even in the absence of those expelled from their lands. It appears in the ruins of a village whose name no longer appears in the maps, in the drawing of a lost landscape, in the lyrics of a song, or in the photographs from a family album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCo-edited by Teresa Aranguren and Sandra Barrilaro and featuring a foreword by Mohammed El-Kurd, the photographs in this book are traces of that existence that have not been erased. They are testament not to nostalgia, but to the power of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52924218409269,"sku":"EB_HI1100_J01-02_DUBAI","price":180.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781642599800-1.jpg?v=1789406996","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ar\/products\/9781642599800","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
