This book, a product of four years effort by Palestine's foremost artist, Ismail Shammout, is made up of two main parts narrative and pictorial. The English summary of the former part covers the main features of the larger Arabic text, but understandably forgoes many of the artful analyses of individual styles and works of Palestinian artists, as well as scores of abstracts on the more prominent among them.

Ismail Shammout and Tamam al-Akhal have for years told the Palestinian story through their paintings, which for the most part are considered visual renditions of the trials of their people. On their canvases, they have vividly depicted the suffering, struggle and hope of the Palestinians. Their paintings provide a visual interpretation of objects and themes that stem from their own memories and have evolved to become part of the collective cultural memory of Palestinians. In this chapter, I specifically examine their shared project, Palestine: The Exodus and The Odyssey, a collection of murals that attempts to tell the Palestinian saga. In their work, we see how certain icons that have evolved to represent Palestine emerge visually through their canvas, constructing the Palestinian collective identity and memory.
