Abstract
The Palestinian question is the subject of the biggest number of books written about a specific region. In spite of this, the traditions, habits, and expectations of most of the men and women who for centuries have lived on it have been relegated to a secondary role. The sources produced by them and reflecting their lives have been sometimes ignored, other times underestimated. After a long process, in this latest historical period wide swathes of Palestinian society have shown that they want to remedy this deficit. They start to take control of their history and are establishing archives. They are ready to concretize what Ignatieff would have called their «attempt to bring losses inflicted by time under control».I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
