Materializing an ‘Arab Jerusalem’
Assembling urban worlds
The ordinary city of Bir al-Saba’, situated within an urban world stretched across southern Palestine, has a story to tell, of dramatic spatiotemporal transformations, presence and absence, capture and resilience. Such connected urban history is profoundly shaped through the world-making relations of those who lived and dwelt within the always-becoming material and ideational spatial geography of the Naqab. Research gathered from diverse archival…
From Damascus Gate to Shaikh Jarrah
The May 2021 Palestinian demonstrations in Shaikh Jarrah and Damascus Gate in occupied East Jerusalem and elsewhere in Arab towns inside Israel mark a dramatic shift in Israeli Palestinian conflict. These events in al Quds (Jerusalem) are directly linked to the Israeli policy of expelling more Palestinians from the borderland zone. In effect, such policy is used to control the most important geo-political space– the Shaikh Jarrah neighbourhood. I…
The Frontiers of Empire
Policing the frontier regions of Empire in the Middle East was heavily dependent on the indigenous community establishing and maintaining territorial boundaries, enforcing social control, and policing tribal communities. The imperial policies employed evolved over time, and required considerable borrowing from other colonial contexts, trial and error, and modification during times of trouble and resistance. The tribal communities of Southern Pale…
The “inclusion-moderation” illusion
The inclusion-moderation thesis posits that radical movements can be moderated through participation in democratic pluralist politics. Repeatedly applied to Islamist movements questions remain over its conceptual ambiguity and empirical veracity. Despite such weaknesses this thesis continues to be utilized to explain the diverging trajectories of the Islamic movement within Israel–its Southern accommodationist parliamentary branch (IMSB) and its …
The Role of Bedouin Youth and Women in Resistance to the Israeli Prawer Plans in the Naqab
Naqab Bedouin resistance and political activism against the Israeli Prawer plans attracted attention in many local and international contexts and became a symbol of sumud [steadfastness] among Palestinians in Israel. In fact, the Bedouin, led at this time by motivated youth and women activists, showed greater creative, tactical and strategic agency and skills than politicians and scholars acknowledged in the past, and they actively contributed to…
School Choice and Conflict Narratives
In representative bureaucracy research, the dominant view holds that passive representation leads to active representation. Much of the research to date has focused on the conditions that influence this process. In this research, we argue that more attention needs to be paid to the manifestation of active representation, rather than simply its presence. We find that although passive representation may indeed lead to active representation, the nat…
Routledge Handbook on Middle East Cities
Turkey’s cities have gone through several transformative periods and waves of modernisation in \nthe last two centuries. In an almost dialectical process, the modern experience was shaped by the \ninterplay of destruction of older structures and the construction of new ones, in architectural as \nwell as in societal and discursive terms.2 In this seesaw of destruction and construction, the issue \nof scale has been central: urban interventions cr…
Routledge Handbook on Middle East Cities
The Politics of Exclusion and Localization
What impact did the Oslo Accords have on the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel? With no avenue for expressing their views inside Israel, and with no recognition in Oslo, the minority responded by reconceptualizing its politics, campaigning for equal rights as a national indigenous minority. Oslo has led to a dual process: it has accelerated the ‘localization’ of their struggle, focusing on minority rights and justice within Israel—while simulta…
Two decades of Bedouin resistance and survival under Israeli military rule, 1948–1967
Using archival data and newspaper collections from Britain and Israel, and extensive fieldwork interviews in the Naqab, this article breaks new ground through a critical examination of the Bedouin and their way of surviving and resisting Israeli military rule, 1948–1967. I argue that creative nonviolent resistance, everyday resistance and sumud (steadfastness and resilience), succeeded in modifying and mitigating the military rule strategies depl…
The Politics of Claiming and Representation
This paper is based on review of the publications of the Islamic Movement and interviews with its leadership and activists. It argues that the Movement’s resistance to the 1948, 1967 and diasporic (shatāt) dismemberment of Palestine has constituted a critical challenge to Israeli policies, and contributed to reframing the internal Israeli political discourse. That is what led to its being banned by the state. The Islamic Movement was established …
The Southern Palestine Bedouin between Colonialism and Nationalism
Based on British archival documents and Palestinian newspapers from the 1930s, the paper draws some conclusions on the representation of the Beersheba (Bir al-Sabi') Bedouinin both British colonial discourse and in the press and voices of Palestinian nationalism. By reviewing British archival documents, including private diaries of British officers, I argue that the British colonial authorities developed strategies and practices to rule the Beers…
The Politics of Representation
Ruling the Desert
The various policies developed by the Ottomans and British for governing the indigenous Bedouin tribes of the Negev/Naqab and Beersheba (southern Palestine) region between 1900 and 1948 are examined using primary sources. Whereas Ottoman attempts to pacify the tribes in southern Palestine and Transjordan were somewhat ineffective, the British Mandate achieved a degree of control and stability by incorporating tribesmen into the Palestine Police, …
Memories from Beersheba
This article examines British-Southern Palestine Bedouin relations through the lens of collective memory and oral history interviews. It argues that British Mandatory authorities achieved a greater degree of control and stability in southern Palestine by incorporating Bedouin tribesmen into the Palestine Police and strengthening the frontier of their empire. Without the Bedouin being employed as mobile police forces, it would have been impossible…

The Ongoing Judaisation of the Naqab and the Struggle for Recognising the Indigenous Rights of the Arab Bedouin People
This paper argues that there is a current and renewed escalation in Israeli policies towards the indigenous Bedouin of the Naqab and Beersheba, and that this escalation emerges from two longstanding, fundamental Israeli aims: Judaising the Naqab; and putting an end to the persistent Bedouin claims to their historical land and rights. The repeated demolition of the village of Al-Araqib on July 2010 is just the latest outstanding example of the Isr…
