Abstract:

The following two-part study and presentation of the poetry and fiction of contemporary Palestine is an attempt at assimilating and ordering some of the major features characteristic of the literature being produced in Palestine today. This work primarily deals with the writings of Palestinians on the land of Palestine (Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank of Jordan) which share a common geographical, historical experience and hence can be studied within one framework.
