by Ilan Pappé
First published 2011
The Forgotten Palestinians shines a light on the Palestinians who remained in their homeland after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Pappé reveals their struggle to maintain their identity and communities in the face of systematic oppression, displacement, and erasure. From the villages razed to the ground to the families torn apart, this is a gripping account of a people fighting to preserve their history and their future in the shadow of occupation.
