Abu Ahmad and His Handalas --List of Contributors --IndexToo often, the study of Israel/Palestine has focused on elite actors and major events. Struggle and Survival in Palestine/Israel takes advantage of new sources about everyday life and the texture of changes on the ground to put more than two dozen human faces on the past and present of the region. With contributions from a leading cast of scholars across disciplines, the stories here are drawn from a variety of sources, from stories passed down through generations to family archives, interviews, and published memoirs. As these personal narratives are transformed into social biographies, they explore how the protagonists were embedded in but also empowered by their social and historical contexts. This wide-ranging and accessible volume brings a human dimension to a conflict-ridden history, emphasizing human agency, introducing marginal voices alongside more well-known ones, defying "typical" definitions of Israelis and Palestinians, and, ultimately, redefining how we understand both "struggle" and "survival" in a troubled region.Cities and townsHistory19th centuryPalestineJewsHistory20th centuryPalestineJewsHistory19th centuryPalestinePalestinian ArabsHistory20th CenturyPalestinian ArabsHistoryArab-Israeli conflictInfluenceElectronic books.Cities and townsHistoryJewsHistoryJewsHistoryPalestinian ArabsHistoryPalestinian ArabsHistoryArab-Israeli conflictInfluence956.94LeVine Markedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShafir Gershonedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910462235003321Struggle and Survival in Palestine2456563UNINA
