Orchestrating Palestinian youth political socialization during the British Mandate (1917-1948): Policies and community responses
Arab Palestinian youth and children's political socialization during the British Mandate (1922–1948) has largely been ignored in the literature. Most of the research has focused on the colonial project in Palestine and how different figureheads influenced the discourse. Indeed, this does not mean there isn't a framework in place to understand youth and children's political engagement. This study will focus on how social-political elements concept…
Palestinian children: A transformation of national identity in the Abbas era
The constant rendering of Palestinian national identity provides crucial insight not only to the current Palestinian community’s political status, but also to past and the future experiences. National identity echoes the intersectionality of history and local politics. For the last few decades, Palestinian national identity has been evolving with continuous alteration that encompasses local political discourse in the Palestinian community. Wherea…

This book increases the awareness of youth political agency and how it relates to adults, governments, communities, and local and global discourse. It reveals the complexity of youth's political lives
Rethinking global north onto-epistemologies in childhood studies
For some time, critical scholars in childhood studies have been reconceptualizing the field (Bloch, 2013). Developmentally appropriate practices and notions of terms like quality have been deconstructed to expose how they normalize childhood/s and create inequities in early education and care (Burman, 1994; Dahlberg et al., 2007). While critical scholarship has problematized dominant childhood discourses, theorizing has largely come from global n…
The Palestinian path to the Convention on the Rights of the Child: Anticipation and discussion
As Palestinian society prepares for statehood and finalizes a state constitution, the Palestinian legislation and policy-makers must ensure that Palestinian children’s rights are upheld according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Palestine clearly has a dedication to children’s rights and as a society is committed to advocating and supporting them. In order for children’s rights to be upheld within the Palestinian community as they ar…
Arab Indigenous Discourse: Social Imaginary Alternative to Decolonizing Methodology
Orientalism and colonization have tainted indigenous discourses in the Arab region. This article aims to provide a discussion on the approach to (re)claim the Arab discourse. Historically the proposal was in supporting a unified Arab discourse as a response to colonizing discourses. However, this approach is not appropriate because it eliminates the diversity of ideas, cultures, and realities in the region. This does not pave the way to the use o…
Childrenʼs Rights and Education: International Perspectives
Education rights can be thought of as comprising rights to, in, and through education. The idea of quality in education is bound up with all three. On returning to power in 2007, the Nicaraguan Sandinista government outlawed all charges for public schools. This made education free of charge (though not free of costs) and represented significant progress toward fulfilling the right to education. However, with no corresponding budget increase, this…
Palestinian Children: Authors of Collective Memory
This article investigates the premise that Palestinian children are the authors of collective memory. Palestinian society employs an oral tradition that propagates the collective experience among different generations in which the individual dimensions of each is apparent. The oral history for Palestinian children not only illustrates past events, it also provides the tool for grasping the present and traversing the future. In this ethnographic s…
Children's projected political preference: Transcending local politics
Traditionally, research on political preference has primarily focused on adults within their local political context. This research attempts to show that the perceived political preference of children is part of their national identity, and encompasses not only local politics but also the global and regional discourse. The present study surveyed 1187 Palestinian adolescents attending school, grades 5–7, in the West Bank to examine whether childre…
Children's religious agency: Conceptualising I slamic idioms of resistance
This paper seeks to examine how P alestinian children's agency integrates I slamic religious idioms in daily life to combat I sraeli oppression. While children are often seen as objects that are merely subjected to political and cultural processes, this research shows that children have agency and use their religious expression as a way to further their own political freedom and resist the imposing geopolitical agenda of colonialism. Since the in…
Colonial Guilt and the Recycling of Oppression: The Merit of Unofficial History in Transforming the State's Narrative
This article juxtaposes colonial guilt with selective historical memory of Palestinian narratives as presented in the Israeli state-mandated history textbooks. The advancement of colonial guilt imposes a particular subjective truth of oppressed groups' historical memories. The purpose of colonial guilt is to keep the power structure intact by maintaining a victimhood hierarchy that engages oppressed groups to compete for the highest level on this…
Children Writers: Methodology of the Rights-Based Approach
The paper examines the rights-based approach utilized in research with children. This approach aims to encourage children’s participation in every stage of the research process (planning, monitoring, evaluating, and writing up the results) on issues that impact their lives. The rights-based framework is more inclusive than the traditional approach that limits children’s participation to the data collection segment of the study. The traditional ap…
Children's agency and Islam: Unexpected paths to solidarity
This ethnographic study analyzes the experiences of Palestinian children's agency of religion and its manifestation in religion as resistance while it is fighting the globalized hegemony. Children's agency of religion as resistance is cultivated within the debate of Islamist movements and the evolution of Palestinian national identity while it serves as a call for global solidarity. It is this creative construct of agency of religion that transce…
Patterns of Human Development Indicators Across Constitutional Analysis of Children’s Rights to Protection, Provision, and Participation
Constitutional Analysis: A Proclamation of Children's Right to Protection, Provision, and Participation
The study of children's images as delineated in constitutional documents highlights the historical transitions that have occurred within and among countries, as manifested in the Convention of the Rights of the Child. As such, content analysis was administered to examine constitutional and amendment documents of 179 nation-states listed and recognized by the United Nations Development Programme in the Human Developmental Index. This analysis prod…
Child Geopolitical Agency: A Mixed Methods Case Study
This study examines the geopolitical agency of Palestinian children. Mixed methodology was used to identify the etiologies contributing to processes of political socialization. Both qualitative and qualitative methods are equally distributed throughout this research. Focus groups and interviews with 12 Palestinian children, aged 10 to 13 years, living in refugee camps, villages, and cities in the West Bank were used to develop a survey instrument…
Language of political socialization: Language of resistance
This paper discusses the notion of language as resistance for Palestinian children living in the West Bank. Drawing from the global/local language discourse, children constructed meaning of language that echoed the Palestinian political environment. The study examines the Palestinian children's language usage and language meaning as a method of political resistance, resilience and reworking. Children's conceptualization of language meaning emerge…
Palestinian Children Crafting National Identity
This study examines the formulation of national identity in Palestinian children by exploring their understanding of its paradoxes. Twelve Palestinian children were interviewed from cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank. The children express the multiple dimensions of national identity in terms of self and other; however these expressions are fragmented in nature. Furthermore, the findings indicate that national identity highlights …
Creating Indigenous Discourse: History, Power, and Imperialism in Academia, Palestinian Case
This article examines the impossibilities of implementing decolonizing research for indigenous scholars. In addition, it articulates the relationship between a decolonizing research approach and the historical and current forms of academic imperialism; a prototype of the Palestinian legacy is presented. The author argues that the current indigenous discourse is a remnant of oppression. The existing indigenous discourse is not due to the original …
