you to compare and contrast the positive and negative attributes of using confessional blogs, oral histories and investigative journalism (presented in graphic form) as sources for understanding the impacct of
the Iraq War and the Israel/Palestine conflict on everyday people. How do the wars overtly and subtly impact daily life? What are the devices the authors use to convey their feelings about the war? How may
historians adequately use such sources, and what are the drawbacks for using cultural productions such as these for understanding larger political and social events? How may an historian read these forms of
memoir, along with a narrative such as Between Memory and Desire, to construct a clear picture of Iraqi, Israeli, and Palestinian history?
