"Women in Israel" provides a fresh, gendered analysis of
citizenship in Israel. Working from a framework of Israel as a
settler-colonial regime, this important, insightful book presents
historical and contemporary comparative approaches to the lives and
experiences of Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, and Palestinian Arab women
citizens. Nahla Abdo shows that no solution to the problems of the
region can be found without changing existing racial and gender
boundaries to citizenship.
In 2018, Palestinians mark the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, when
over 750,000 people were uprooted and forced to flee their homes in
the early days of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even today, the
bitterness and trauma of the Nakba remains raw, and it has become
the pivotal event both in the shaping of Palestinian identity and
in galvanising the resistance to occupation. Unearthing an
unparalleled body of rich oral testimony, An Oral History of the
Palestinian Nakba tells the story of this epochal event through the
voices of the Palestinians who lived it, uncovering remarkable new
insights both into Palestinian experiences of the Nakba and into
the wider dynamics of the ongoing conflict. Drawing together
Palestinian accounts from 1948 with those of the present day, the
book confronts the idea of the Nakba as an event consigned to the
past, instead revealing it to be an ongoing process aimed at the
erasure of Palestinian memory and history. In the process, each
unique and wide-ranging contribution leads the way for new
directions in Palestinian scholarship.
