Students and Resistance in Palestine: Books, Guns and Politics de Ido Zelkovitz

Students and Resistance in Palestine: Books, Guns and Politics: Routledge Studies on the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Autor Ido Zelkovitz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
Exploring the Palestinian Student Movement from an historical and sociological perspective, this book demonstrates how Palestinian national identity has been built in the absence of national institutions, whilst emphasizing the role of higher education　as an agent of social change, capable of crystallizing patterns of national identity.




Focussing on the political and social activities of Palestinian students in two arenas – the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the Palestinian diaspora, Students & Resistance covers the period from 1952-2000. The book investigates the commonality of the goal of the respective movements in securing independence and the building of a sovereign Palestinian state, whilst simultaneously comparing their development, social tone and the differing challenges each movement faced.




Examining a plethora of sources including; Palestinian student magazines, PLO documents, Palestinian and Arabic news media, and archival records, to demonstrate how the Palestinian Student Movements became a major political player, this book is of interest to scholars and students of Palestinian History, Politics and the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Recenzii

"It is sometimes forgotten today that Palestinian politics was born in student organizations. […] This history, and its modern incarnations, is the subject of a new book by Ido Zelkovitz, an accomplished young scholar currently at the University of Haifa. He set out to examine how the Palestinian student movement played such a key role in the quest for national independence. This is an intensely academic study, but it is accessible to both, a general and an expert audience, and as one of the first major studies tracing the Palestinian student movement through to the present, it is an important contribution to understanding the history of the Middle East in modern times. […] The book raises important questions and the reader is left with an unequivocal view that paying attention to Palestinian student politics is essential to understanding Palestinian affairs." Middle East Media and Book Reviews Online (http://membr.uwm.edu/review.php?id=188)
Ido Zelkovitz’s Students and Resistance in Palestine: Books, Guns and Politics offers a new perspective on the conflict by examining the history of Palestinian university students. One of the book’s main achievements is to represent Palestinian youth as rational, nuanced, and conscientious leaders in the Palestinian struggle for statehood. Through a detailed political history of twentieth century Palestinian student movements, the book makes the case that youth in the West Bank, Gaza, and diaspora played and continue to play a significant role in shaping Palestinian national identity and the call for the establishment of a sovereign state…. Zelkovitz’s book is of high value.

Zelkovitz provides a wealth of detail regarding student movements, their constant in-fighting, and the ways they were both vied over and, in turn, influenced by political movements. Universities were not only an arena for activism against Israel but also a place for each faction to demonstrate its ability to lead Palestinians. Middle East Quarterly
Zelkovitz discusses how Palestinian students reacted to various key episodes of Palestinian history, such as the creation of Israel and major Arab-Israeli wars, including, for instance, the 1973 Yom Kippur War.　Zelkovitz additionally analyzes how Palestinian students conducted their business in the period between two intifadas since the late 1980s until 2000, when the second intifada began.　In addition, the　behavior of Palestinian students in the context of venomous Hamas-Fatah rivalry taking place　during that　period of time is of significant interest. Summing Up: Recommended CHOICE
