Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Customs and Traditions of Palestine: Illustrating the Manners of the Ancient Hebrews The information contained in the following pages, relative to the manners and customs of the present inhabitants of Palestine, has been collected by the Author during a residence of eight years in that country. In preparing those parts of the work which treat of the former inhabitants of the land, he has been greatly aided by M. Munk's 'Palestine' ('Description Geographique Historique et Archeologique'), and is also occasionally indebted to 'Le Pelerinage à Jérusalem par le Père Laorty-Hadji.' Some of the Arab legends in Chapter III. have already appeared in a little book entitled 'Trois Ans en Judee;' as, however, they were supplied to M. Gerardy Saintine by the Author, he conceives that he has a right to use them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine written by Chiara De Cesari and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, Palestinian heritage organizations have launched numerous urban regeneration and museum projects across the West Bank in response to the enduring Israeli occupation. These efforts to reclaim and assert Palestinian heritage differ significantly from the typical global cultural project: here it is people's cultural memory and living environment, rather than ancient history and archaeology, that take center stage. It is local civil society and NGOs, not state actors, who are "doing" heritage. In this context, Palestinian heritage has become not just a practice of resistance, but a resourceful mode of governing the Palestinian landscape. With this book, Chiara De Cesari examines these Palestinian heritage projects—notably the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, Riwaq, and the Palestinian Museum—and the transnational actors, practices, and material sites they mobilize to create new institutions in the absence of a sovereign state. Through their rehabilitation of Palestinian heritage, these organizations have halted the expansion of Israeli settlements. They have also given Palestinians opportunities to rethink and transform state functions. Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine reveals how the West Bank is home to creative experimentation, insurgent agencies, and resourceful attempts to reverse colonial violence—and a model of how things could be.

Download or read book Palestine Culture Smart written by Inas Abu Shirbi and published by Kuperard. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of Palestine live in a contested region at the heart of the Arab world, surrounded by Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. After the creation of Israel in 1948, and the exodus of most of the Arab population from the area of the Jewish state, their fortunes fluctuated dramatically, and today the vast majority of Palestinians live abroad, as refugees, as political exiles, or simply because they wanted a better life away from the hardship and complexities of life in their homeland. In 2012, however, Palestine gained the status of non-member state at the United Nations, with the prospect of full membership to follow. The nascent State of Palestine consists of two fragmented pieces of land between the Jordan River and the sea, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip--a small proportion of the area of historical Palestine--governed by the rival administrations of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Culture Smart! Palestine gives a fresh perspective on a people whose reputation has often been tarred with negative associations. Palestinians will surprise you when you meet them. There is a richness and variety in their culture, and their traditions are a source of delight for the visitor. Their warmth and hospitality are instantly sensed, and their friendship is long-lasting and sincere. The Palestinians are driven, optimistic, high achievers, and natural entrepreneurs. They prize education and have the highest literacy rate in the Arab world. Passionate and whole-hearted, they can be guided by their emotions and sometimes end up embracing contradictory positions. Their response to the frustrations, difficulties, and limited opportunities of their circumstances, however, is often creative, laced with humor, and fueled by the desire to create a better future. This book will guide you through the realities of Palestinian life, and is a new and original introduction to the attitudes, contradictions, hospitality, spirituality, and inner strength of the Palestinians.

Download or read book Palestine Israel and the Politics of Popular Culture written by Rebecca L. Stein and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-13 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume rethinks the conventional parameters of Middle East studies through attention to popular cultural forms, producers, and communities of consumers. The volume has a broad historical scope, ranging from the late Ottoman period to the second Palestinian uprising, with a focus on cultural forms and processes in Israel, Palestine, and the refugee camps of the Arab Middle East. The contributors consider how Palestinian and Israeli popular culture influences and is influenced by political, economic, social, and historical processes in the region. At the same time, they follow the circulation of Palestinian and Israeli cultural commodities and imaginations across borders and checkpoints and within the global marketplace. The volume is interdisciplinary, including the work of anthropologists, historians, sociologists, political scientists, ethnomusicologists, and Americanist and literary studies scholars. Contributors examine popular music of the Palestinian resistance, ethno-racial “passing” in Israeli cinema, Arab-Jewish rock, Euro-Israeli tourism to the Arab Middle East, Internet communities in the Palestinian diaspora, café culture in early-twentieth-century Jerusalem, and more. Together, they suggest new ways of conceptualizing Palestinian and Israeli political culture. Contributors.

Download or read book Polarized and Demobilized written by Dana El Kurd and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the 1994 Oslo Accords, Palestinians were hopeful that an end to the Israeli occupation was within reach, and that a state would be theirs by 1999. With this promise, international powers became increasingly involved in Palestinian politics, and many shadows of statehood arose in the territories. Today, however, no state has emerged, and the occupation has become more entrenched. Concurrently, the Palestinian Authority has become increasingly authoritarian, and Palestinians ever more polarized and demobilized. Palestine is not unique in this: international involvement, and its disruptive effects, have been a constant across the contemporary Arab world. This book argues that internationally backed authoritarianism has an effect on society itself, not just on regime-level dynamics. It explains how the Oslo paradigm has demobilized Palestinians in a way that direct Israeli occupation, for many years, failed to do. Using a multi-method approach including interviews, historical analysis, and cutting-edge experimental data, Dana El Kurd reveals how international involvement has insulated Palestinian elites from the public, and strengthened their ability to engage in authoritarian practices. In turn, those practices have had profound effects on society, including crippling levels of polarization and a weakened capacity for collective action.
Download or read book Palestine in Israeli School Books written by Nurit Peled-Elhanan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, Israel's young men and women are drafted into compulsory military service and are required to engage directly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This conflict is by its nature intensely complex and is played out under the full glare of international security. So, how does Israel's education system prepare its young people for this? How is Palestine, and the Palestinians against whom these young Israelis will potentially be required to use force, portrayed in the school system? Nurit Peled-Elhanan argues that the textbooks used in the school system are laced with a pro-Israel ideology, and that they play a part in priming Israeli children for military service. She analyzes the presentation of images, maps, layouts and use of language in History, Geography and Civic Studies textbooks, and reveals how the books might be seen to marginalize Palestinians, legitimize Israeli military action and reinforce Jewish-Israeli territorial identity. This book provides a fresh scholarly contribution to the Israeli-Palestinian debate, and will be relevant to the fields of Middle East Studies and Politics more widely.
