Abstract
This paper deals with the dialectics of identityconstruction and self-representation in the Palestinian national movement. It demonstrates how some transformations regarding self-image have been transpiring among Palestinians. It is divided into two main parts; the first deals with the first three decades following the 1948 exile during which thousands of Palestinians found themselves out of their homeland. This new reality led many of them to conceptualize a monolithic self-image that was presented to the world.
