Based on extensive interviews with members of the "intifada generation," those who were between 10 and 18 years old when the intifada began in 1987, the book provides a detailed look at the intifada memories of ordinary Palestinians. These personal stories are presented as part of a complex and politically charged discursive field through which young Palestinians are invested with meaning by scholars, politicians, journalists, and other observers. What emerges from their memories is a sense of a generation caught between a past that is simultaneously traumatic, empowering, and exciting-and a future that is perpetually uncertain. In this sense, Collins argues that understanding the stories and the struggles of the intifada generation is a key to understanding the ongoing state of emergency for the Palestinian people. The book will be of interest not only to scholars of the Middle East but also to those interested in nationalism, discourse analysis, social movements, and oral history.Intifada, 1987-1993InfluencePalestinian ArabsWest BankSocial conditionsPalestinian ArabsGaza StripSocial conditionsYouth, Palestinian ArabWest BankPolitical activityYouth, Palestinian ArabGaza StripPolitical activityMemoryPolitical aspectsMemorySocial aspectsElectronic books.Intifada, 1987-1993Influence.Palestinian ArabsSocial conditions.Palestinian ArabsSocial conditions.Youth, Palestinian ArabPolitical activity.Youth, Palestinian ArabPolitical activity.MemoryPolitical aspects.MemorySocial aspects.956.95/3044Collins John428768MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449744903321Occupied by memory2470487UNINA
