“Erasures” lecture by Eduardo Cadava, Philip Mayhew Professor of English, Princeton University

This talk takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s multi-volume project on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, The Erasure Trilogy (2015). Exploring the legacies of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, this project imagines the possibility of exposing and countering the various processes of erasure that, over the last several decades, have sought to erase both the violence of this history and the acts of erasure themselves.
