Palestinians in Jerusalem and Jaffa, 1948

Více o knize

Focusing on the social dynamics and institutional changes within Palestinian Arab society during the 1948 conflict, this book provides a unique perspective from the Palestinian viewpoint. It analyzes the internal factors contributing to the collapse of communities in Jerusalem and Jaffa, such as migration patterns, economic shifts, and the emergence of a middle class. By emphasizing these social transformations, the study reveals how modernity exacerbated divisions and weakened leadership, ultimately impacting the military outcomes of the conflict.
