Given the historical context--many of these essays were written during the second Palestinian intifada--it is not surprising that the accounts of Palestinian women living in the West Bank, Gaza, and the Galilee are testimonies.
Hala Manna, also writing from Gaza, gives "brief accounts of the lives, dreams, struggles and hopes of four refugee women" p. Two in particular, Um Luayy who lost a son and Ibtisam who lost a husband in the second Palestinian intifada, suggest not only the agony, but the complexities of these losses.
Ibtisam, newly married and pregnant, is pressured to marry her husband's brother, "a shadow of a man," in order to keep her child. I chose the former" p. Um Luayy, proud of her son, "began to explore a new position for herself" p. These moving and thought-provoking accounts, however, are almost too brief. The reader does not know how either son or husband died and can only glimpse how family dynamics are altered in the aftermath. If the editors had worked with the authors to develop fuller profiles, it would have strengthened these valuable accounts.
Here, the role of editors in presenting personal narratives or testimonies is perhaps a matter for discussion and dissension, particularly among feminist scholars. Given the pre-eminence of narratives in a range of feminist writing, the question is important: what are the responsibilities of editors or authors in editing or writing a life? The question is raised in other ways by the sometimes rambling nature of the personal narratives, which can border on both editorial and self-indulgence, as well as by the occasional stiffness of phrases translated from the Arabic.
In her particularly strong contribution on mother-daughter relations in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Sayigh raises the question in the urgent context of the Palestinian intifada. Whatever the minor weaknesses of this collection, the editors and authors of Women and the Politics of Military Confrontation have opened up this question for reflection. Shohat, for example, writing a "reluctant eulogy" of her childhood memories as an "Arab-Jew" in an Iraqi Jewish family asks, "Can memory exist apart from the desire to memoralize" p.
Kervokian provides a conceptual framework of "decolonization of the mind" in which her narrative, along with those of other Palestinians, break silences. Svirsky's narrative of women's activism during the second Palestinian intifada breaks another silence, that of the media, where even readers located in Israel or Palestine need to be reminded of this submerged history. Sayigh illuminates the way "non-elite women's narratives unself-consciously crisscross the politically constructed boundary between 'public' and 'domestic,' narrating the national through the personal" p.
Overall, the tensions, dislocations, and illuminations of these narratives provide avenues for new and more complicated understandings of gender and nationalism in this bitter and tragic phase of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Citation: Penny Johnson.
