Abstract

In 2000, a group of Israeli and Palestinian teachers gathered to address what to many people seemed an unbridgeable gulf between the two societies. Struck by how different the standard Israeli and Palestinian textbook histories of the same events were from one another, they began to explore how to “disarm” the teaching of the history of the Middle East in Israeli and Palestinian classrooms.The result is a riveting “dual narrative” of Israeli and Palestinian history. Side by Side comprises the history of two peoples, in separate narratives set literally side-by-side, so that readers can track each against the other, noting both where they differ as well as where they correspond. The unique and fascinating presentation has been translated into English and is now available to American audiences for the first time.An eye-opening―and inspiring―new approach to thinking about one of the world's most deeply entrenched conflicts, Side by Side is a breakthrough book that will spark a new public discussion about the bridge to peace in the Middle East

Abstract

Beyond Hummus and Falafel is the story of how food has come to play a central role in how Palestinian citizens of Israel negotiate life and a shared cultural identity within a tense political context. At the household level, Palestinian women govern food culture in the home, replicating tradition and acting as agents of change and modernization, carefully adopting and adapting mainstream Jewish culinary practices and technologies in the kitchen. Food is at the center of how Arab culture minorities define and shape the boundaries and substance of their identity within Israel.

Abstract

Trop longtemps l’histoire de la Palestine s’est écrite autour de Jérusalem et dans la mémoire de l’exil, comme si Gaza n’en était qu’un théâtre marginal. Or cette bande de 360 km2 doit être replacée au centre : non seulement elle a vu grandir nombre d’acteurs déterminants, mais elle concentre une densité inégalée de réfugiés, à partir de 1948-1949. Cette enclave que l’Égypte refusa alors d’annexer devint un pôle d’affirmation collective, puis la matrice des fedayines.C’est là que l’OLP et les factions armées se développèrent, après 1967, sur les ruines du nassérisme. C’est là que leur défaite, consommée en 1972, creusa la dépendance du territoire envers Israël et favorisa l’essor du mouvement islamiste. C’est là qu’éclata le grand soulèvement de 1987 en faveur de l’État palestinien. Et c’est là aussi que ce rêve fut fracassé par la rupture entre le Fatah et le Hamas en 2007.Ce bout de territoire, qui fut durant des siècles le carrefour des empires, zone de contact entre le Levant et l’Égypte, ne doit pas aujourd’hui être réduit à une « prison à ciel ouvert ». Loin d’être un non-lieu, fruit des hasards de la guerre, il s’agit bien d’un foyer majeur du nationalisme palestinien.Ce livre est la première recherche historique consacrée à Gaza : il en retrace la longue histoire, depuis la haute Antiquité égyptienne jusqu’à la fin de l’Empire ottoman, avant de s’attacher avec une précision inédite aux événements du siècle écoulé

Abstract

Military Resistance in Late Mandatory Palestine presents telegrams sent to London by High Commissioner General Sir Alan Cunningham about the activities of the Jewish and Arab military organizations in Palestine from early 1947 to mid-May 1948. The telegrams contained detailed daily reports on the situation in Palestine, with an emphasis on terrorist activities carried out by both Jews and Arabs, against the British and against each other. A significant portion of these documents was destroyed by the British after they had left Palestine, but was recovered especially for this edition. In order to verify the contents of these reports, ascertain their accuracy, and evaluate the quality of the British intelligence in the last days of the Palestine mandate, a comparison was made between these reports and various Jewish and Arab sources. The contents of memoirs written by Hagana, IZL and LHI members, and by participants in the Arab organizations, were compared with that of the British documents, and the findings are brought in the notes following the documents, in order to provide a fuller and more accurate account of the events. Prof. Eliezer Tauber is a world expert on the emergence of the Arab nationalist movements, the formation of the modern Arab states, and the early phases of the Arab-Israeli conflict. He has published many books and numerous journal articles about these topics. Professor Tauber is the Dean of the Faculty of Jewish Studies at Bar-Ilan University, and formerly was the founder and first chair of the Department of Middle Eastern Studies there and the director of the Institute for the Study of Underground and Resistance Movements.

Abstract

The Palestine-Israel conflict is the most notorious and ingrained conflict of the twentieth, and now twenty-first, century. Yet the way it is reported in the media is often confusing, leading many to assume the hostilities stretch back to an ancient period. The Palestine-Israel Conflict is the first book to provide a clear, accessible, and annotated introduction that covers the full history of the region, from Biblical times until today. Perfect for the general reader, as well as students, it offers a comprehensive yet lucid rendering of the conflict, setting it in its proper historical context. Harms and Ferry show how today's violence is very much a product of recent history, with its roots in the twentieth century. This balanced account is now fully up to date, including the ongoing situation in Gaza, making it a valuable resource for anyone who wants a clear guide to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories, and its place in the history of Middle Eastern affairs.

Abstract

Ces articles de fond du grand historien palestinien Walid Khalidi n'ont jamais été réunis dans un seul volume. Echelonnés sur près de trente ans, ils constituent pourtant la contribution palestinienne la plus précoce et la plus rigoureuse à l'historiographie de la Nakba - mot arabe qui signifie "désastre" ou " malheur" et qui désigne couramment l'expulsion en 1947-1948 de quelque 800 000 Palestiniens. Depuis ses premiers articles, "Pourquoi les Palestiniens sont-ils partis ?" et "La chute de Haïfa", qui datent de 1959, jusqu'à sa réponse cinglante à l'historien israélien Benny Morris, en 1993, Khalidi a bien montré que la première guerre de Palestine a été déclenchée par les forces armées sionistes dès le vote par l'ONU du plan de partage, en novembre 1947, et qu'elle avait deux objectifs, clairement précisés dans les plans C et D de la Haganah : le premier, occuper la plus grande partie du territoire imparti aux Palestiniens par le plan de partage, et le second, forcer les habitants de ce territoire à partir. Les plans cités sont intégralement reproduits dans le livre en supplément à une analyse détaillée du plan D (Dalet). L'autre apport décisif de Khalidi concerne le camp arabe dont il souligne les divisions, les préoccupations contradictoires (notamment les ambitions territoriales de l'émir Abdallah de Transjordanie conformément au projet britannique de "Grande Syrie"), et l'incapacité tragique à se mettre en ordre de bataille.
