Abstract
The stated aim of Are Knudsen and Sari Hanafi’s edited book, Palestinian Refugees: Identity, Space and Place in the Levant, is to focus attention away from the past and the future to the present: ‘It is about the Palestinian living conditions, modes of governance of refugee camps, camp reconstruction and improvement, humanitarian management and refugee crisis’ (p. 1). As such, it departs from the majority of writings on Palestinian refugees, which either tend to deal with the past (especially the Nakba) or the future (especially the refugees’ right of return and/or proposed solutions to the Palestine–Israel conflict).
