Greg Burris employs the work of Edward W. Said, Jacques Ranci鑽e, and Cedric J. Robinson in order to locate Palestinian utopia in the heart of the Zionist present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe analyzes the films of prominent directors Annemarie Jacir (\u003ci\u003eSalt of This Sea, When I Saw You\u003c\/i\u003e) and Hany Abu-Assad (\u003ci\u003eParadise Now\u003c\/i\u003e) to investigate the emergence and formation of Palestinian identity. Looking at Mais Darwazah's documentary \u003ci\u003eMy Love Awaits Me By the Sea, \u003c\/i\u003e Burris considers the counterhistories that make up the Palestinian experience-stories and memories that have otherwise been obscured or denied. He also examines Palestinian (in)visibility in the global media landscape, and how issues of Black-Palestinian transnational solidarity are illustrated through social media, staged news spectacles, and hip hop music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Burris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439916748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439916742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019","brand":"Greg Burris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123628962047,"sku":"9781439916742","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7611fd1-9c07-4273-847e-aceb9192a42f.jpg?v=1687431942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-palestinian-idea-greg-burris-9781439916742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
