| Summary/Abstract |
The extensive literature on trauma, social suffering, memory and loss has so far
excluded consideration of the Palestinian Nakba, in spite of its place in world
politics, its many similarities to other cases of social suffering, and the unusual
feature of its continuation and escalation more than sixty years after the
expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. This paper examines this exclusion
through reviewing the genealogy, theoretical orientations, and institutional
supports of the "trauma genre,"from its crystallization in the early 1990s, through
its expansion up to today. The idea of the way the communication of suffering
is facilitated within "moral communities" is invoked as one kind of explanation
of the trauma genre's failure to consider the Nakba.

| Summary/Abstract |
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.
