Explores the colonial, social and political history of the creation
of citizenship in mandate PalestineIn the two decades after the
First World War, nationality and citizenship in Palestine became
less like abstract concepts for the Arab population and more like
meaningful statuses integrated into political, social and civil
life and as markers of civic identity in a changing society. This
book situates the evolution of citizenship at the centre of state
formation under the quasi-colonial mandate administration in
Palestine. It emphasises the ways in which British officials
crafted citizenship to be separate from nationality based on prior
colonial legislation elsewhere, a view of the territory as divided
communally, and the need to offer Jewish immigrants the easiest
path to acquisition of Palestinian citizenship in order to uphold
the mandate's policy. In parallel, the book examines the reactions
of the Arab population to their new status. It argues that the
Arabs relied heavily on their pre-war experience as nationals of
the Ottoman Empire to negotiate the definitions and meanings of
mandate citizenship.Key featuresCovers the overlapping social,
administrative and political eras in the creation of Palestinian
citizenship, from the final decades of the Ottoman imperial age

citizenship in mandate Palestine in its historical

diasporaIncorporates a number of under-used and un-used Arabic
press and other documentary sources
