This article compares Palestinian refugees and exiles’ written accounts of their visits to their places of origin in present-day Israel. The discussion is based on texts published by educated, upper-middle-class Palestinians living in the diaspora or in the West Bank, who made their visits as private citizens. After surveying the existing literature on refugee visits their homes in other post-conflict zones, the article discusses an aspect of Palestinian visits that previous studies have left untouched: the encounter between visitors and present occupants.

巴勒斯坦难民访问他们的故居

本文比较了巴勒斯坦难民和流亡者访问当今以色列的原籍国的书面记录。讨论依据的是居住在海外或西岸的受过教育的上层中产阶级巴勒斯坦人发表的案文，他们是作为私人公民来访的。在调查了有关难民在其他冲突后地区探视其家园的现有文献之后，本文讨论了以前的研究未触及的巴勒斯坦探视的一个方面：来访者与现居者之间的相遇。
