Abstract
This is the story of the Palestinians living in refugee camps in Lebanon, one of the most vulnerable communities in a country torn apart by armed factions. Drawing on oral history, it presents a compelling portrait of their experience of attack and aggression, air raids, massacres and summary executions, how they organized to defend themselves and how they related to one another during these successive crises. Rosemary Sayigh explains the origins and history of the refugee camps, the rise of the Amal militia and the Palestinians' relationship with Syria and with the various Lebanese groups. She makes the complex maze of Lebanese politics intelligible and brings to life a communal experience essential for understanding Palestinian attitudes towards other developments in the region.
