Abstract This article provides a study of Palestinian aviation diplomacy by examining two “states of exception”: the deterritorialized Palestinian state and the supraterritorial, supranational state of aviation. It discusses five important episodes in Palestine’s aviation history: aviation as a colonial instrument in Palestine prior to 1948, Jerusalem Airport as a contested site of power, Palestinian airplane hijackings as media spectacle, Yasir Arafat’s creative aviation diplomacy, and Gaza International Airport and Palestinian Airlines as symbols of Palestinian sovereignty. Although Palestinians have faced difficulties with conventional aviation diplomacy, they have been somewhat successful in exploiting aviation as an unconventional weapon of resistance to disrupt dominant narratives.

Abstract This article investigates the institutional attitudes of the Histadrut (the General Organization of Workers in the Land of Israel) toward Palestine’s Middle Eastern Jews (Mizrahim) between 1920 and the late 1940s. Based on archival evidence and secondary sources, it argues that what Mizrahi workers experienced in their dealings with the Histadrut was not the result of random or unintended abuse but of a political culture that promoted social fragmentation and inequality. The corollary of this argument is that the Mizrahim who arrived immediately after 1948 found themselves thrown into a racial binary mold that had been in the making for about fifty years, beginning with the first waves of Zionist immigration to Palestine.

Abstract This interview is part of an ongoing PhD research project on contemporary Anglophone Palestinian memoirs, autobiographies, and life narratives. The project examines the linguistic, aesthetic, and thematic elements of a number of texts that document daily life under occupation in Palestine within a settler-colonial theoretical framework. Interviews with authors have been conducted to foreground the textual analysis of the texts. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this interview was conducted online via Zoom in February 2022, and was later edited by the interviewer and the interviewee.

Abstract Although Lord Plumer’s tenure as high commissioner for Palestine (1925–28) is sometimes characterized by mainstream Euro-American histories as a period of comparative peace, the year 1927 saw two major disruptions: the Jericho earthquake in July, which caused serious damage to towns and cities including Jerusalem, Nablus, and Lydda; and unrest among Jewish immigrants who found that the local economy had no jobs to offer them—or at least not ones at the European rates of pay to which they were accustomed. This article explores the ways in which each of these crises intersected with Palestine’s infrastructure—in particular its railways, roads, and housing stock. I argue that the disparate ways in which the British administration approached earthquake victims versus the unemployed, the help it offered (or failed to offer), and the policies it implemented are telling about the nature of British governance in Palestine in the mid-1920s and British administrative priorities and concerns. The Mandate authorities’ responses to the quake—characterized by selective negligence—reveal the colonial administration’s weakness, the contested ways in which colonial structures were shaped and operated in the early Mandate period, and the extent to which maintaining a facade before other colonial powers and the League of Nations outweighed substantive action.

Diana Allan’s edited volume Voices of the Nakba: A Living History of Palestine is an emotive collection of chapters that demonstrate how Palestinians continue to be living conduits of their own history. Each chapter is followed by raw transcripts of interviews conducted by Allan and Mahmoud Zeidan in the early 2000s. For the last decade, a huge project involving the digitization of these interviews and many others has taken place at the American University of Beirut. The database is called the Palestinian Oral History Archive (https://libraries.aub.edu.lb/poha/). It is now possible to trawl through over one thousand hours of audio-visual recordings in the database. This book offers an analysis and contextualization of a selection of these interviews from various scholars working on Palestinian history. Beautifully woven together, these chapters highlight the enduring importance of oral history in the Palestinian struggle against erasure. Indeed, oral history has long played a key role in the Palestinian historical narrative, but it took a more prominent role following the 1948 Nakba. Palestinian historian Nur Masalha’s well-known description of oral history as an “emergency science” explains how it has been used to substitute much of the material forms of knowledge that have been consecutively destroyed or looted by the Zionist settler-colonial project.1 Inevitably, this emergency science developed as a bottom-up body of knowledge to challenge the hegemonic Zionist narrative. As Salman Abu Sitta explains in chapter 8, this is a narrative that claims Palestine prior to 1948 was terra nullius: a land without a people. Yet Palestinians themselves are evidence of the fallacy of that statement. Thousands of their recorded testimonies tell us of a vibrant Palestinian society that existed before the Zionist occupation and a people in the throes of national awakening, thus showing the importance of oral history to the Palestinian narrative and how it cannot be understated. While oral history is the oldest form of historical record, written documentation is still favored as more authoritative and legitimate. Contemporary oral history scholarship has challenged this notion, asserting that oral sources must not be marginalized given that they have the potential to produce a more social history or “a history built around people.”2 For a long time, the written record was only concerned with political narratives and histories divided chronologically according to reigns and dynasties. Documentation of ordinary people prior to the latter half of the twentieth century was limited to registers of births, deaths, and marriages, in other words, empirical and legal statistics. Other documents based on oral accounts, such as diaries and letters, were few and far between during this period.3 The latter half of the twentieth century saw the popularization of oral history, particularly following the invention of the portable tape recorder.

戴安娜·艾伦编辑的《末日之声:活生生的巴勒斯坦历史》是一本充满情感的章节合集，展示了巴勒斯坦人如何继续成为他们自己历史的活生生的管道。每一章后面都附有艾伦和马哈茂德·扎伊丹在21世纪初进行的采访的原始记录。在过去的十年里，贝鲁特美国大学开展了一个庞大的项目，将这些采访和其他许多采访数字化。该数据库被称为巴勒斯坦口述历史档案(https://libraries.aub.edu.lb/poha/)。现在可以在数据库中检索一千多小时的视听记录。这本书提供了一个分析和背景选择这些采访从不同的学者在巴勒斯坦的历史工作。这些章节完美地交织在一起，突出了口述历史在巴勒斯坦人反对抹去的斗争中的持久重要性。的确，口述历史长期以来一直在巴勒斯坦的历史叙述中发挥着关键作用，但在1948年的Nakba之后，它发挥了更加突出的作用。巴勒斯坦历史学家努尔·马萨勒哈(Nur Masalha)对口述历史的著名描述是“紧急科学”，他解释了口述历史是如何被用来取代许多被犹太复国主义定居者-殖民计划连续破坏或掠夺的物质知识形式的不可避免地，这门紧急科学发展成为自下而上的知识体系，挑战犹太复国主义的霸权叙事。正如Salman Abu Sitta在第8章中解释的那样，这是一种声称巴勒斯坦在1948年之前是无主之地(terra nullius)的叙述:一块没有人民的土地。然而，巴勒斯坦人本身就是这种说法谬误的证据。他们成千上万的记录证词告诉我们，在犹太复国主义占领之前，存在着一个充满活力的巴勒斯坦社会，一个处于民族觉醒的痛苦之中的人民，从而显示了口述历史对巴勒斯坦叙述的重要性，以及它如何不能被低估。虽然口述历史是最古老的历史记录形式，但书面文件仍然因为更权威和合法而受到青睐。当代口述历史学者对这一观念提出了挑战，认为口述资料不应被边缘化，因为它们有可能产生更社会性的历史或“围绕人建立的历史”。很长一段时间以来，文字记录只涉及政治叙述和根据统治和朝代按时间顺序划分的历史。20世纪下半叶以前，对普通人的记录仅限于出生、死亡和婚姻登记，换句话说，就是经验和法律统计。其他以口述为基础的文件，如日记和信件，在这一时期是很少的20世纪后半叶见证了口述历史的普及，尤其是在便携式录音机发明之后。在最近的一篇开创性的文章中

Abstract This article compares the flag colors device in three films: Paradise Now, When I Saw You, and 3000 Nights. The central question is how Hany Abu-Assad, Annemarie Jacir, and Mai Masri embed the colors red, green, white, and black in their movies, the colors of the Palestinian flag. Three major motivations for the flag device are compared: symbolic rhetoric, artistic play, and narrative composition by examining flag motifs from global cinema (Godard, Kieślowski, and Mehta) and other Palestinian films and paintings. This article argues that Abu-Assad, Jacir, and Masri have used flag colors to structure their films’ form and to cue their narratives.

Abstract This article challenges the dominant notion that the health of Palestinians inside the Green Line can be framed or understood as an issue of “minority health” characterized by a “gap” that needs bridging in order for health equity to be attained. It situates the health of Palestinians in Israel within the realm of Indigenous health and claims that the settler-colonial nature of the state of Israel, the minoritization of Palestinians, and their depeasantization through land policies and water infrastructures have produced an Indigenous community alienated from its lands and from nature. These processes, I argue, contribute to adverse health outcomes that are then reported simply as “minority health” phenomena, chalked up to behavioral patterns or biology. The article seeks to challenge the entire notion of “minority health” as a purportedly neutral statistical unit and to launch a conversation on the health effects of minoritization in settler-colonial contexts.

It situates the health of Palestinians in Israel within the realm of Indigenous health and claims that the settler-colonial nature of the state of Israel, the minoritization of Palestinians, and their depeasantization through land policies and water infrastructures have produced an Indigenous community alienated from its lands and from nature. These processes, I argue, contribute to adverse health outcomes that are then reported simply as “minority health” phenomena, chalked up to behavioral patterns or biology.
