Abstract
When I embarked on this book, I started with two main questions. The first concerned the ways in which al-Nakba is articulated in diverse Palestinian cultural media; namely, literary and audiovisual narratives. The second concerned the presence of al-Nakba in the fabric of contemporary Palestinian everyday life. For this second question, I intended to complement my analysis of literary and audiovisual narratives with an analysis of how perceptions of the loss of homeland are transmitted through oral narratives from one generation to the next within different geopolitical communities of exiled Palestinians. In the past four chapters of this book, I have addressed the first question.
