In this groundbreaking book, leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals examine how and why the Holocaust and the Nakba are interlinked without blurring fundamental differences between them. It searches for a new historical and political grammar for relating and narrating their complicated intersections.
Rarely do scholarly works attain the moral and political significance of The Holocaust and the Nakba. Bashir and Goldberg's essential volume brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of prominent thinkers to address one of the world's thorniest problems: how to think through the conflicting narratives of Israelis and Palestinians about their respective traumatic experiences. Without flinching but with considerable nuance, the book offers a crucial ethical and political vision of binational coexistence premised on decolonization and mutual recognition.
