| Description | This course asks what "daily life" has meant and means in
Palestine today. Centering work by diverse Palestinians, we will
engage: accounts of village and urban life in Palestine before
1948, ethnographies and oral histories of the Nakba, and studies
of ecology, cuisine, identity, and struggle in the past and
today, as well as contemporary literature by Palestinian writers
and poets. Members will collaborate on an ongoing 'glossary'
project and will also propose and carry out independent studies
of their own, which they will then present to the class.
