Arab-Jewish ‘neighbourly relations’ in rural Mandatory Palestine
Middle East Contemporary Survey
Middle East Contemporary Survey
Established in 1977, the Middle East Contemporary Survey is designed to be a reference examining in detail the rapidly changing Middle Eastern scene in all its complexity. Subjects include inter-Arab relations, Islamic affairs, economic developments and Middle-Eastern relations with major powers.
Children’s Leisure Reading in the Nahḍah
Children made up a substantial segment of the literate public that emerged during the Arab nahḍah period. Of these, an apparent minority applied skills they acquired in school to reading for pleasure or satisfying juvenile curiosity. This study explores the novel practice of Arab youth leisure-time reading as reported in retrospective memories and autobiographies. It reveals that during the nahḍah ’s early decades, the inventory of Arabic reading…
Nature’s Rage and Nation-Building
Palestine of the 1920s was a country in transformation. Arabs and Jews were striving to build their separate national communities on the same land amid a bitter rivalry between them, under a recently installed colonial government that had its own geostrategic interests. The mighty earthquake that inflicted death and devastation on the country in July 1927 confronted all of these actors at an early stage of advancing their respective agendas, and …
Fighting over the Image
The current paper analyzes the recent wave of violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and especially the occurrences on the Gazan border since March 2018, from a less covered point of view – the battle over the image and narrative. The Palestinians’ main tools of resistance during this wave of violence have been civilian protests near the fence and the launching of explosive kites and balloons across the border – causing massive damage to I…

The Dawn of Arab Printing
The adoption of printing in the Ottoman Arab provinces in the nineteenth century portended a cultural transformation with profound implications, known as the nahda. Focusing on the Syrian town of Tripoli (Tarabulus al-Sham) as a case study, the article examines the historic cultural change from a peripheral vantage point. It looks at the impact of Arab printing and publishing, which evolved primarily in Cairo, Alexandria, and Beirut, on a communi…
The creation of Israeli Arabic
Anyone travelling on Israeli roads who can read Arabic letters cannot fail to notice the sloppy manner in which Arabic is inscribed on road-signs: in town and village names, navigation directions
From Warfare to Imagefare
Conflicts in the 21st century differ from past conflicts based on two central factors: the level of asymmetry and disparity between the actors taking part in the conflict and the amount of foreign media coverage that a conflict receives. This article aims to develop a new theoretical perspective on the implications of these two factors on how the involved states manage a conflict. Most actors in current conflicts have vast levels of disparity and…
Arab Booksellers and Bookshops in the Age of Printing, 1850–1914
The emergence of massive printing in the Arab Middle East in the nineteenth century entailed a multiple set of changes. As well as the production of written texts in unprecedented quantities and the rise of a big reading public, that historic shift also gave birth to a range of diffusion channels-from bookshops to public libraries and from newspaper agents to reading clubs-which carried the printed works to their audiences. This article examines …
Private Publishing in the Nahḍa
Khalil Sarkis (1842–1915) was an eminent figure in late Ottoman Beirut and an important contributor to the nahḍa , the Arab literary-cultural “awakening” that began in the latter part of the 19th century. Less known to Western scholarship than Butrus al-Bustani, Faris al-Shidyaq, or Jurji Zaydan, he is not usually regarded as a pillar of that awakening. He may not have been, but he certainly was an indispensable brick in its edifice. Born in 1842…
Reading Palestine
Prior to the twentieth century, Arab society in Palestine was predominantly illiterate, with most social and political activities conducted through oral communication. There were no printing presses, no book or periodical production, and no written signs in public places. But a groundswell of change rapidly raised the region's literacy rates, a fascinating transformation explored for the first time in Reading Palestine. Addressing an exciting asp…

Middle East Monarchies
A discussion of the fundamentals and performance of monarchies in the Middle East. The authors focus on four themes: the roots and characteristics of Middle East monarchies; the causes of collapse or longevity; the performance of present-day monarchies; and the problems they face.
Language as a barrier to political reform in the Middle East
Political reform in the Middle East has been largely inspired by foreign models. Ideas such as liberalism, parliaments, and constitutions have been borrowed from Europe, superimposed on local foundations, and assimilated, with varying degrees of resemblance to the original prototypes. The foreign ideas were initially conveyed to the region's society through local idioms. But since local languages were by definition inadequately equipped for the t…
Minorities and the State in the Arab World
A comprehensive discussion of minorities and ethnic politics in eight Arab countries, focusing on the strategic political choices made by minorities, majorities, and regimes in power
The Press in the Arab Middle East
Newspapers and journalism began in the Middle East in the nineteenth century and evolved during a period of accelerated change which shaped their unique political, social and cultural role. Drawing on a wealth of sources, this study for the first time explores the press as a Middle Eastern institution. It focuses on the circumstances that influences the growth of the Arab press, its own impact on local historical developments, and the long-term e…
The Press in the Arab Middle East
In The Press in the Arab Middle East, Ami Ayalon draws on a broad array of primary sources - a century of Arabic newspapers, biographies and memoirs of Arab journalists and politicians, and archival material - as well as a large body of published studies, to portray the remarkable vitality of Arab journalism. He explores the press as a Middle Eastern institution during its formative century before World War II and the circumstances that shaped it…
Sihafa
no more than a curiosity. Thousands of periodicals have since appeared in the Middle East itself, most of them in Ghassani's own language, Arabic. Hundreds of Arabic newspapers are currently being published inside and outside of the region. In format, reporting methods, distribution mechanisms, and graphic arrangements, they do not differ markedly from their European counterparts; some indeed compare favorably with most Western periodicals in mor…

Semantics and the Modern History of Non-European Societies
In his article ‘Semantics and historiography’, published in 1953, Richard Koebner invites historians to exploit the benefits which a semantic approach to history readily offers them. A ‘semantic approach’ he defines as a systematic ‘study of the career of political and historical expressions and slogans’. Koebner is convincing when he explains why such a study is so important – indeed indispensable – to historians who do not wish to become ‘victi…

Malik in Modern Middle Eastern Titulature
MALIK IN MODERN MIDDLE EASTERN TITULATURE * BY AMI AYALON Tel Aviv On a sunny morning, 29 October 1916, a large number of notables, 'ulamä', townsmen and tribesmen, gathered in the Grand Mosque of Mecca. They came to hear the Sharif Husayn ibn Ali declare himself "King of the Arab Lands" (malik al-bildd al-"arabiy'ya) and to offer him the traditional bay'a. Husayn, until recently the Amir of Mecca approved by the Ottoman Sultan, had rebelled agai…
