Updated 1 October 2020 Full bibliography of titles & categories in one old-fashioned PDF. Categories History Today ~ Older History ~ Culture ~ Fiction ~ Poetry ~ Biography Christian Palestinians ~ LGBT Welcome to a bibliography of the most significant books on the Palestinian struggle. The site takes its inspiration from British Writers in Support of Palestine (www.bwisp.wordpress.com), co-ordinated by the novelist-poet Naomi Foyle. Your compiler was a curator at The British Library for twenty years and the titles included here have been confirmed by held copies at the BL, various university libraries, and from online booksellers. Printed bibliographies at the back of books sometimes misspell author’s names so I’ve made an effort to correct them by using the official catalogue records, which do have human errors but are more reliable than any author, book indexer, or publisher. SEARCHING : These are splayed out into several categories, to make it easier for browsing, what people used to do in physical libraries. So, if you don’t find quite what you want in one list, check another one. PALESTINIAN BOOKS’ listings are not intended to be complete, and could never be. The poetry strand is admittedly a weak one for your editor. A very few “Liberal Zionist” works are included, but these are not emphasised here. The Christian movement for Palestinian rights is, hopefully, well-represented, but Christian Zionists will have to look elsewhere. Uncredited comments about individual titles are mine, otherwise they’re credited to an author, critic, or source publication. NOTHING, nothing at all is for sale on this site, and listings do not indicate my endorsement, only significance in the long canon of Palestinian titles. This resource is updated and amended regularly, so suggestions for additions and corrections are appreciated. BOOKS Yes, books, whether you could ever find them in a bookshop or not. University press businesses have for years distributed mainly to the university library market, but times have changed. As of now, Routledge-Taylor & Francis Publishers emphasise an academic focus but a work is often published as an over-£100 expensive hardback and later a £40 paperback, but these are likely printed-on-demand, with e- book versions under £30. In this publisher’s case, we are grateful that they accept and make available monograph-length research aspects of the Palestinian struggle. OTHER SOURCES : This website solely suggests books, what librarians term ‘monographs’ (single-topic printed publications, even weighty pamphlets). There are many magazines / journals in existence, the best of which is the Journal of Palestine Studies, which picked up the torch lit by Walid Khalidi’s Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS), in Beirut. The IPS has published many individual book titles (palestine-studies.org). A great many magazines, journals, and worldwide newspapers (such as al-Difa, aka Ad-Difaa, from 1934, and Filastin, La Palestine / raʾis̄ al-tahṛ ir̄ Yusuf̄ al-ʿIs̄ á, from 1911) are held at the British Library and numerous university libraries. A volume of selected articles from the Palestinian press is Fred Pragnell’s Palestine Chronicle, 1880-1950, listed in the OLDER PALESTINE HISTORY section of this site. The British Library holds many United Nations resolutions and reports, plus much vintage ephemera (thin pamphlets), which aren’t included here and are unlikely to get catalogued individually; you can search their main catalogue : www.bl.uk. Also valuable are other periodicals. The Journal of Palestinian Refugee Studies [JPRS], was published by The Palestinian Return Centre, in London. The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs has a dedicated focus on Palestinian struggle; subscriptions from $10 online – wrmea.org).
