A remarkable piece of work, totally original and devastating through its objectivity. A great book, an extraordinary feat of research.
Peter Kennard, Emeritus Professor of Political Art, Royal College of Art, London
The Erasure of Palestine is the outcome of a three-year journey by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Ahmad Al-Bazz, who set out to document what remains of the hundreds of Palestinian villages and towns depopulated and destroyed during the creation and expansion of Israel from 1948 to the present.
Today, unmistakable traces of destroyed Palestinian communities haunt nearly every Israeli settlement, revealing not just a past catastrophe but an ongoing process - a continuing history of colonisation and removal. Combining visual evidence, field research and historical testimony, Al-Bazz shows that what began as a single act of ethnic cleansing has evolved into a sustained strategy of occupation and erasure.
Through more than 80 haunting photographs and incisive accompanying essays, The Erasure of Palestine exposes the physical and psychological landscapes of disappearance, offering a stark counter-narrative to the dominant historical record.
This landmark work stands as both documentation and resistance - an urgent appeal to remember what is continually being denied.
