Photographing the Palestinian Nakba: Rethinking the Role of Photography in Historical Writing
View through CrossRef
While a substantial literature has emerged in recent years on photography during the period of the British Mandate occupation of Palestine, addressing subjects such as identity, orientalism and social history, little use has yet been made of war photography by Palestinian and other photographers from the Nakba of 1948. This chapter explores the uses of this body of evidence for the historiography of the Nakba, or Palestinian catastrophe, as well as for an understanding of the work and trajectories of Palestinian photographers. It also considers more widely the use of photography in writing histories and war and refugees, drawing on the examples of the Palestinian people.
