Introduction

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The chapter examines how national and global media narrate stories of Israeli – Palestine child war experience and thus contribute to their representation and the transnational narrative and memory of the war. It explains "War at a Glance: Geopolitics and the Rise of Panoramic Mapping in the British Press" which offers a unique insight into the cartographical representation of the war in the popular press. It traces the connections between experience and memory and asks how an understanding of the past might impact on our interpretations of the present. The chapter also provides research on the various aspects and narratives of race and ethnicity in the First World War and subsequent conflicts, providing important insights into the multi-racial cultural memory of war. It analyzes the pro-colonial language and tropes, which could be used as "evidence" supporting contemporary pro-colonial revisionism.
