N2 - This article considers Bart Moore-Gilbert's unfinished work on Palestine and postcolonialism, which sought to demonstrate that contemporary Palestinian and Israeli writing challenges postcolonial studies' emphasis on national narration by emphasizing hybridity, border-crossing, and dialogue. I outline my disagreements with Moore-Gilbert's argument, while also commending his work for insisting that the question of Palestine should have the same stature for English-language scholars and students as postcolonial theory and postcolonial life-writing.
