Description and Table of Contents
Description
Palestinian history differs markedly from that of other parts of the world, causing many to treat it as a thing apart, with its own special logic requiring its own mode of analysis; contributors to this anthology, however, believe that Palestinian structures and processes can be analyzed satisfactorily with the help of concepts and methods used in the social sciences while, at the same time, giving due weight to their specific features, according to Roger Owen, editor.The book consists of four studies of economic and social history plus an introduction by Roger Owen. Other authors and articles are Alexander Schoch, European Penetration and the Economic Development of Palestine, 1856 1882; Sarah Graham-Brown, The Political Economy of the Jabal Nablus 1929 1948; Salim Tamari, Factionalism and Class Formation in Recent Palestinian History; and Avi Plascov, Jordan s Border Inhabitants: The Forsaken Palestinians?
