Exodus, Nakba Denialism, and the Mobilization of Anti-Arab Racism
Nakba denialism - that is, denying Zionist culpability for the mass expulsions of Palestinian Arabs from their homeland in 1948 - has long been a feature of US discourse on Palestine. Through a content analysis of Leon Uris' 1958 novel, Exodus, I argue that Nakba denialism rests on three anti-Arab racist tropes. The first trope presents Palestinian Arabs as lacking religious attachment to Palestine, the second trope claims they lack modern feelin…

Agency and Trauma in the Palestinian Struggle to Remain
Adel Manna's Nakba and Survival: The Story of the Palestinians Who Remained in Haifa and the Galilee, 1948-1956 appeared in Arabic and Hebrew in 2016-2017. Manna's book gives voice to the experience of the first generation of Palestinians living within the State of Israel. Here, four scholars of Palestinian and Israeli history review Nakba and Survival and weigh its importance for reckoning with the entangled history of the creation of Israel and…
Palestinian Engagement with the Black Freedom Movement prior to 1967
This article examines early Palestinian engagements with multiple facets of the Black American struggle for freedom through a content analysis of influential Palestinian press outlets in Arabic prior to 1967. It argues that, since the 1930s, Palestinian intellectuals with strong anti-colonial views linked anti-Black racism in the United States to larger imperial and Cold War dynamics, and that they connected Black American mobilizations against r…
The Crime of Nationalism: Britain, Palestine, and Nation-Building on the Fringe of Empire
Who decides when political opposition becomes a crime in a colonial context? How are such determinations made and implemented? These questions lie at the heart of Kelly’s engaging study about the Great Arab Revolt in Palestine from 1936 to 1939, in which thousands of Palestinians undertook various forms of protest against the British Mandate government and the Zionist settlement that it enabled. Kelly notes that many of the English-language studi…

Agricultural Land Use Change and its Drivers in the Palestinian Landscape Under Political Instability, the Case of Tulkarm City
Agricultural land-use change is unavoidable with population growth and economic development. This study investigated the causes and the consequences of agricultural land-use change in Tulkarm city in the West Bank of Palestine after the construction of the Separation Wall. With the aid of GIS data, the study found that urban and built-up areas increased by 54% during the period 1999–2009. About 80% of the new urbanization occurred on agricultural…
Palestinian Citizens of Israel and the Discourse on the Right of Return, 1948-59
This article traces the evolving discourse on the "right of refugee return"among the Palestinian citizens of Israel during the first decade of Israeli statehood, with emphasis on the role of the local Arabic press in shaping and reflecting that discourse. More particularly, it focuses on al-Ittihad, the organ of the communist party (MAKI), which paid the greatest attention to the refugee issue. In tracing the party's shift from a humanistic/anti-…
The Marginal as Central: Al-Jadid and the Development of a Palestinian Public Sphere, 1953–1970
This article argues that throughout the 1950s and 1960s the communist-sponsored Arabic literary journal al-Jadid played a central role in creating a Palestinian-Arab counterpublic within Israel by challenging Zionist discourses and championing Arab and Palestinian causes. As a result, when Palestinian writers, activists and intellectuals in Israel were reconnected with Palestinians outside Israel after the 1967 War, they played a vital role in th…
