Writing While Fighting
In five essays written by Salim Tamari during the first Palestinian intifada, 1987-91, he examined the role of urban merchants, the strategies of Israel's intelligence services, and the dilemmas of the intifada's leadership and Palestinian civil society's "limited rebellion" in the ongoing intifada.Penny Johnson -writing in the context of the Palestinian habbat al-Shaykh Jarrah of 2021, often referred to as the Unity Intifada -draws on Tamari's e…

Is the Palestine Virus Incurable
Are You Coming with a Bulldozer to Silwan
My Pulse Beats with the City”
A memorial tribute to Albert Aghazarian (1950–2020) recalling, often in his own words, how he grew up in the Old City of Jerusalem, his life-long passion for the city as a historian and activist, and his unique contribution to the defense of academic freedom at Birzeit University, including the rights of students and staff during his tenure as director of the Public Relations Office
Foreign to Palestinian Society? ʿUrfī Marriage, Moral Dangers, and the Colonial Present
In 2005, religious authorities in Palestine warned publicly of a new phenomenon, one that was ‘foreign to Palestinian society’: ʿurfī marriages. They used this term to refer to ‘secret marriages,’ which they considered as linked to social breakdown, the result of the Israeli occupation. In the tales (similar to rumors) of young men and women throughout the West Bank and Gaza in the early 2010s, these marriages were often related to the colonial g…
Our Life is Prison
In focus groups and individual interviews with the wives and mothers of Palestinian political prisoners, we find that their narratives describe a triple captivity—of the Israeli colonial system, the Israeli prison, and the post-Oslo Palestinian political landscape with its isolating effects in their own communities. Wives and mothers of prisoners mediate between prison and family life by navigating through the multiple dynamics of Israeli securit…

Unmarried in Palestine
There are rising numbers of single women across the Arab world. While this is usually connected with delayed marriage, Palestine shows a unique pattern of early but not universal marriage. This article looks beneath the statistics to investigate the stories behind this trend. How do young unmarried women negotiate boundaries and understand and enact choice in the context of a society experiencing prolonged insecure and warlike conditions, politic…
Displacing Palestine
In emails from the besieged town of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip during Israel's December 2008/January 2009 war on Gaza, Majeda Al Saqqa (2009a), a long-time community and women's activist, describes to friends the shrinkage of her life into the domestic space. She explains the endless strategizing to protect children physically and psychologically and her fears not only for family but for friends all over Gaza, sometimes reachable by mo…
Weddings and War
In our comparison of marriage arrangements and wedding celebrations during the first and the second intifada in Palestine, we focus on “political marriages” wherein the political activism and affiliation of the marital partners are of considerable importance. During the first intifada, political engagement became a major consideration in choice of marriage partner in some settings, and conventional boundaries of religion and class were transgress…
What Rosemary Saw
Referencing the ''stereotypes of self'' identified by Rosemary Sayigh in the life stories of Palestinian camp women in Lebanon who had lived through the Palestinian resistance, the author focuses on the narratives of two women in Ramallah's Am'ari refugee camp since the outbreak of the al-Aqsa intifada to reflect on the Palestinian present. Though the women——and their goals and struggles——could not be more different, their narratives reveal signi…
Violence All Around Us
How do international human rights frameworks function in addressing violence against women in situations of prolonged political violence and colonial conflict? How do other voices, generated locally, take on, contest or interact with, these frameworks? These questions are addressed in the Palestinian context through examining two recent reports, the first, a problematic November 2006 report by Human Rights Watch, A Question of Security: Violence …

Where Have All the Women (and Men) Gone
The authors ground their reflections on gender and the complex realities of the second Palestinian intifada against Israeli occupation in the political processes unleashed by the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian rule, noting that the profound inequalities between Israel and Palestine during the interim period produced inequalities among Palestinians. The apartheid logic of the Oslo period - made explicit in Israel's policies of separation, seig…

A Longitudinal Study of Black Adoptions
This longitudinal study of black children reared in single-parent transracial and traditional adoptive homes reveals that most children grow well in these homes. Interest at this reporting, when the children were 8 years old, is chiefly focused on the transracially adopted children because their pattern of racial identity development differs from that of children in black homes

Single Persons as Adoptive Parents
Only recently have social agencies begun to place children for adoption by single parents. The capacities of such homes to deal with the stresses of family life, or to handle the extra demands of the older or handicapped child who may need an adoptive home, are unknown. This study, following a group of single parents for the first four years of their lives with adopted children, illustrates some of the satisfactions and problems of this form of a…

Palestinian Universities under Occupation 15 August–15 November
On 29 October, Bethlehem University marked the anniversary of one full year of military-ordered closure: the university had been closed following the death by army gunfire of a student, Ishaq Abu Surur, on 28 October 1987. Since that time, its campus and classrooms have been shut down by a succession of military orders, with the exception of 1 February, when the university managed to open for a day of classes between military orders. The closure …
