Two-thirds of all Palestinians are Jordanian citizens living on the
East and West Banks; a sizable number also reside and work in
various parts of the Arabian Peninsula. With the questions of
ultimate sovereignty over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
attracting much international attention since Israel's occupation
of these areas in 1967, the solution to the Palestinian question is
often seen as entirely dependent on Palestinian relations with
Israel, despite the fact that only one-third of the Palestinians
live in the occupied territories. In contrast, Palestinian
relations with the Arab states, including Jordan, are generally
portrayed as a sideshow to the main theater of conflict. This book
examines the thirty-five-year struggle between the Hashimite
monarchy and the forces of Palestinian nationalism over the future
identity, and perhaps location, of those two-thirds of the
Palestinian people who have been Jordanian subjects since 1948. Dr.
Bailey bases his study on "open" sources: reports appearing in the
Arab, Israeli, and world press, in addition to academic studies and
published memoirs of persons involved in the events described,
providing an accurate portrayal of the significant developments in
Jordan's Palestinian challenge over the past thirty-five years.
