In the period between the 1948 Palestinian exodus and the 1967 Six-Day War, "Palestinian Resistance Literature" played a significant role in maintaining the Palestinian identity; forming a bridge between the two periods, which allowed the Palestinian identity to survive especially in the absence of armed resistance. In his book, "Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation", Ghassan Kanafani argues, "Palestinian resistance literature, just like armed resistance, shapes a new circle in the historical series which practically has not been cut throughout the last half century in the Palestinian life”.
