For much of the past decade, all diplomatic initiatives designed to
advance the Arab-Israeli peace process have had in common a concern
for the future of the West Bank. This region, along with the Gaza
Strip, has often been discussed, but rarely studied. Palestinians
living under occupation were often seen as passive and leaderless.
This view is no longer tenable.The uprising, or intifadah, that
began in the West Bank and Gaza in late 1987 and continued into
1988 represents a new phase of the Palestinian resistance to
occupation and search for self-determination. Palestinians in these
areas, especially the youth, are politically mobilized and highly
nationalistic. The uprising needs to be seen in perspective. It is
the product of profound political, social, and economic changes
that have taken place over the past twenty years. Emile Sayliyeh
analyzes in detail and with great personal knowledge the internal
politics of the West Bank Palestinians and their international
implications. Traditionally, West Bank politics had been the domain
of elite, prominent families used by the Ottomans, the British, and
the Jordanians to control local politics. Recent social changes,
such as the growing trend toward higher education, exposure to the
mass media, and labor mobility, have coincided with recent
political changes the consolidation of the communist movement, the
radicalization of the student population, and the resurgence of
Islam to challenge the political order and give more power to the
mass-supported local politicians. In Search of Leadership offers
the first comprehensive look at the social and political bases of
the factions and groups in the West Bank and suggests how they will
affect Palestinian politics in the years ahead.
