The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History Edited by Bashir Bashir and Amos Goldberg., New York: Columbia University Press, 2018

Abstract

Is it permissible to draw comparisons between the Holocaust and the Nakba as foundational events that alternately intersect and diverge in the historical, psychological and colonial contexts of the Jewish and Palestinian peoples? And if so, then what dangers are posed by such a comparison in its exploration of the hidden convergences between the two events?
