This is a collection of eyewitness testimonies gathered through An-Najah National University’s Palestine Media Unit in Nablus. 

This is not a synthetic history of 1948 from above, but a book of voices: eyewitness accounts of dispossession, flight, violence, and rupture assembled around what Palestinians name the Nakba. Its force is documentary and cumulative. Rather than flattening catastrophe into abstraction, it restores scale through memory — village by village, witness by witness, sentence by sentence.

These are narrations shaped by survival and transmission, where testimony does the work official archives so often refuse. A stark and important record for readers of Palestinian history, oral history, memory studies, and the politics of who gets to narrate the past.

This is a scarce, specialist political-history/oral-history title an not a routine secondhand paperback. There is no normal-market circulation, hence the pricing. It is an historical object.
