Introduction to In Spite of Partition: Jews, Arabs and the limits of Separatist Imagination. (original) (raw)

This work investigates the complex and often repressed relationships between Jews and Arabs in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By analyzing literary representations, it challenges the prevailing narratives of separation and animosity, arguing that these identities are deeply intertwined and historically connected. The discussion further critiques the legacy of partition and its impact on cultural imagination, suggesting that true understanding can emerge from recognizing the inseparability and shared experiences of these two groups.
