Focusing on the complex history of Palestinians over the past fifty years, the book delves into themes of resistance, heroism, and national identity amidst occupation and exile. Drawing from experiences in Lebanese refugee camps, Khalili highlights how commemorations have shaped a collective sense of nationhood. She also discusses the evolving international discourse on liberation, noting a shift in the portrayal of Palestinian nationalism from heroic to tragic, particularly through the veneration of martyrs in collective memory.
