The collection examines history as a lived text for state, society, and nation, while focusing on archives, monuments, art institutions, cinematic portrayals, and narratives from the margins. Through case studies on village places, trauma, gendered storytelling, and the politics of witnessing, it analyzes how collective memory persists, iterates, and shapes identity, citizenship, and moral accountability.","n a k ba  \nC u lt u r es o f H i sto ry  \nn i c h o la s d i rks , Series Editor  \nThe death of history, reported at the end of the twentieth century, was clearly premature. It has become a hotly contested battleground in struggles over identity, citizenship, and claims of recognition and rights. Each new national history proclaims itself as ancient and universal, while the contingent character of its focus raises questions about the universality and objectivity of any historical tradition. Globalization and the American hegemony have created cultural, social, local, and national backlashes. Cultures of History is a new series of books that investigates the forms, understandings, genres, and histories of history, taking history as the primary text of modern life and the foundational basis for state, society, and nation.  \nShail Mayaram, Against History, Against State: Counterperspectives from the Margins  \nTapati Guha-Thakurta, Monuments, Objects, Histories: Institutions of Art in Colonial and Postcolonial India  \nCharles Hirschkind, The Ethical Soundscape: Cassette Sermons and Islamic Counterpublics  \nPrachi Deshpande, Creative Pasts: Historical Memory and Identity in Western India, 1700–1960  \nBear, Laura, Lines of the Nation: Indian Railway Workers, Bureaucracy, and the Intimate Historical Self  \nnak ba  \nPa l e st i n e , 1 9 4 8 , a n dt H e C la i ms o f m e mo ry  \nEdited by  \nahmad [h . sa](h . sa) ’ di & lila abu-lug hod  \nC o lu m b i a u n i v e r s i t y P r e s sn ew york  \nc o lu m b i a u n i v e r s i t y p r e s s Publishers Since 1893  \nNew York Chichester, West Sussex Copyright © 2007 Columbia University Press All rights reserved  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nNakba : Palestine, 1948, and the claims of memory / Ahmad H.
