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 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 Popular Proverbs written by Nasser M. Isleem and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monumental collection of over one thousand proverbs from Palestine and across the Arabic-speaking world provides an informative and entertaining treasure trove of knowledge for anyone with interest in this remarkable culture. The central role of proverbs in daily speech originates from a universal reverence in Arab culture for language and especially poetry. The Arabic language has enjoyed a long tradition of both secular and religious poetry, beginning with the pre-Islamic Jahiliyya poets and continuing today in popular verse. Arabs everywhere take great pride in this tradition and in the Arabic language itself, a pride which is evident in the frequent usage of proverbs in literature, the media and every-day conversation. Given the integral role of proverbs in Palestinian life, and indeed throughout all Arab cultures, the study of such proverbs as used by Palestinians offers a unique perspective on the beliefs and values shared among all Arabs.
Download or read book From the Arab Other to the Israeli Self written by Yonatan Mendel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role played by Arab-Palestinian culture and people in the construction and reproduction of Israeli national identity and culture, showing that it is impossible to understand modern Israeli national identity and culture without taking into account its crucial encounter and dialectical relationship with the Arab-Palestinian indigenous 'Other'. Based on extensive and original primary sources, including archival research, memoirs, advertisements, cookbooks and a variety of cultural products – from songs to dance steps – From the Arab Other to the Israeli Self sheds light on an important cultural and ideational diffusion that has occurred between the Zionist settlers – and later the Jewish-Israeli population – and the indigenous Arab-Palestinian people in Historical Palestine. By examining Israeli food culture, national symbols, the Modern Hebrew language spoken in Israel, and culture, the authors trace the journey of Israeli national identity and culture, in which Arab-Palestinian culture has been imitated, adapted and celebrated, but strikingly also rejected, forgotten and denied. Innovative in approach and richly illustrated with empirical material, this book will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists, historians and scholars of cultural and Middle Eastern studies with interests in the development and adaptation of culture, national thought and identity.

Download or read book Palestinian Traditional Pottery written by John Elsemore Landgraf and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Palestinian Traditional Pottery' stands out, first and foremost, as a scholarly testimony to the disappeared and disappearing craft of traditional pottery making by Palestinian women and men potters. It offers a contribution that has been long awaited and is long overdue. The material it provides, both textual and pictorial, is based on field research completed in the 1970s by two very different, yet complementary, researchers and authors. For various reasons, this material lay dormant over four decades until it was retrieved and returned to the light of day. The occasion for the creation of the volume was the death in 2017 in the U.S. of one of the authors, John Landgraf. Fortunately, the other author, Owen Rye in Australia, had most of the written material still in his possession, which was then digitized, arranged, and edited. The graphic material, especially the black and white - and beautiful color - photographs, taken by the two authors, was also gathered and cataloged for use in the book. The photographs of the women potters are particularly poignant, since they date to the final decade of their pottery making activity. Assembling and producing the book required months of painstaking collaborative work by the editors and the layout artist, with results that are worthy of their efforts. This volume invites readers into the two distinct worlds of Palestinian women and men potters at work in the 1970s: the women in or outside their village homes, and the men in their mostly urban workshops. With Palestinian culture under siege, the scholarship presented here aims to record and preserve a key part of that culture. It stands out equally as a memorial volume for John Landgraf, who lived in Jerusalem from 1965 to 1980, dedicating himself to archaeology, ethnography, and social work." --

Book excerpt: THE TRADITIONAL COSTUMES OF THE Palestinian villagers and Bedouin are of exceptional beauty and diversity, especially the festive costumes of the women with their lavish silk embroidery and patchwork and their dramatic headdresses encrusted with coins. This book surveys male and female fashions from the early nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth, and describes the main regional styles of costume, their materials and ornamentation, against the background of Palestinian life and culture. The emphasis throughout the book is on the social and symbolic significance of costume, and the final chapters analyze in detail the language of costume in the context of the wedding. The book is based on extensive field research the author has conducted at intervals since 1967 among Palestinians in Israel, the Occupied Territories, and Jordan. The illustrations include studio photographs of magnificent garments in the British Museum and other collections, archive photographs from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and recent photographs of costumes still made and worn.
Download or read book Mental Health and Palestinian Citizens in Israel written by Muhammad M Haj-Yahia and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minorities face particular social strains, and these are often manifested in their overall mental health. In Israel, just under a quarter of the citizens are Arab Palestinians, yet very little has been published exploring the spectrum of mental health issues prevalent in this population. The work collected here draws on the first-hand experience of experts working with Israeli Palestinians to highlight the problems faced by service users, their families, and their communities. Palestinians in Israel face unique social, gender, and family-related conditions that also need reliable research and assessment. Mental Health and Palestinian Citizens in Israel offers research and observation on three central topics: socio-cultural determinants of mental health, mental health needs, and mental health service utilization. From suicidal behaviors and addiction to generational trauma and the particular concerns of children and the elderly, this broad and careful collection of research opens new dialogues on treatment, prevention, and methods for providing the best possible care to those in need.
