Book by Diana Allan presents oral histories and testimonies from Palestinian refugees in Lebanon recording firsthand accounts of village life before 1948, the violence and flight of the Nakba, and decades of refugee existence. Allan situates these testimonies within a broader argument about the politics of oral history and the importance of survivor accounts in combating denial of the Nakba. A rich collection for the study of Palestinian memory. Recommended for oral historians, refugee rights researchers, and anyone studying Palestinian refugee communities in Lebanon, particularly valuable for researchers seeking firsthand survivor accounts of the 1948 Nakba and its aftermath.
