Refugees of the Revolution
This “carefully crafted ethnography” of a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut reframes the relationship between home and homeland (Journal of Palestinian Studies). More than half a century after 750,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homeland, the popular conception of Palestinian refugees still emphasizes a way of life that ended abruptly with “the catastrophe” of 1948. And their camps—inhabited now for four generations—are seen as mere zones of waiting. But what would it mean for the generations born in exile to return to a place they never left? Diana Allan addresses this question in her provocative examination of everyday life in Shatila, a refugee camp in Beiru...
Social Movements, Mobilization, and Contestation in the Middle East and North Africa
Before the 2011 uprisings, the Middle East and North Africa were frequently seen as a uniquely undemocratic region with little civic activism. The first edition of this volume, published at the start of the Arab Spring, challenged these views by revealing a region rich with social and political mobilizations. This fully revised second edition extends the earlier explorations of Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and adds new case studies on the uprisings in Tunisia, Syria, and Yemen. The case studies are inspired by social movement theory, but they also critique and expand the horizons of the theory's classical concepts of political opportunity structures, collective action frames, mobilization structures, and repertoires of contention based on intensive fieldwork. This strong empirical base allows for a nuanced understanding of contexts, culturally conditioned rationality, the strengths and weaknesses of local networks, and innovation in contentious action to give the reader a substantive understanding of events in the Arab world before and since 2011.
Remembering Palestine in 1948
The war of 1948 in Palestine is a conflict whose history has been written primarily from the national point of view. This book asks what happens when narratives of war arise out of personal stories of those who were involved, stories that are still unfolding. Efrat Ben-Ze'ev examines the memories of those who participated and were affected by the events of 1948, and how these events have been mythologized over time. This is a three-way conversation between Palestinian villagers, Jewish-Israeli veterans, and British policemen who were stationed in Palestine on the eve of the war. Each has his or her story to tell. These small-scale truths shed new light on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as it was then and as it has become.
Nakba
Contributors examine how the Nakba has shaped the personal and collective memory of Palestinians and how that memory impels their claims for justice.
مفترق الطرق: اليهودية ونقد الصهيونية
أصدر المركز العربي للأبحاث ودراسة السياسات كتاب مفترق الطرق: اليهودية ونقد الصهيونية ضمن سلسلة ترجمان، وفيه تحاول Authorة جوديث بتلر، فضح الزعم القائل إنّ كل انتقاد لإسرائيل هو معاداة للسامية، مستندةً إلى مصادر يهودية تنتقد عنف دولة إسرائيل وقهرها الاستعماري للسكان الفلسطينيين وترحيلهم وطردهم، بمعنى أن بتلر تحاول أن تُبيّن أن ثمة نقدًا يهوديًا أيضًا لعنف إسرائيل، وأن ثمة قيمًا يهودية تحكم التعايش مع غير اليهود، وهي جزء من الجوهر الخُلقي الفعلي لليهودية الشتاتية.
Voices of the Nakba
"During the 1948 war more than 750,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were violently expelled from their homes by Zionist militias. The legacy of the Nakba - which translates to 'disaster' or 'catastrophe' - lays bare the violence of the ongoing Palestinian plight. Voices of the Nakba collects the stories of first-generation Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, documenting a watershed moment in the history of the modern Middle East through the voices of the people who lived through it. The interviews, with commentary from leading scholars of Palestine and the Middle East, offer a vivid journey into the history, politics and culture of Palestine, defining Palestinian popular memory on its own terms in all its plurality and complexity"--Publisher.
