| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A number of books were published in A rabic about the meaning of the Arab colossal defeat ( Nakba) in 1948 and its implications during the first decade following this eventful catastrophe. In the summer of 1948, Constantine Zurayk was the first to try and analyze the reasons behind the Nakba, followed by Musa al-â??Alami during the following year. 1 However, in the years that ensued, very little was published about the meanings of the Nakba and its repercussions, either by Palestinians or by other Arab intellectuals. Then, â??Aref al-â??Aref published his six-volume seminal work entitled Al-Nakba, Nakba of Bayt al-Maqdis or Paradise Lost. 2 These books and other Arab publications during the first decade after the catastrophe were important contributions to the Arab understanding of this traumatic event and of the necessary conditions to overcome its results. However, the stream of intellectual works on this topic seemed to dry up from the late 1950â??s writers turning instead to other issues such as the political changes then taking place in the Arab regimes and other current events. |
