INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the moat advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -

The duty of writing a thesis presented me with a chance of getting better acquainted with the politi- cal awakening of the Arabs and the Various national move- ments that have occurred separately, or simultaneously, in the individual Arab countries. The topic is extremely wide and its treatment in this thesis represents a mere 'survey. Though I have attempted to include all important events that have happened in the history of Arab nation- alism I do not pretend to have done a complete job. Nevertheless, I have tried to provide the interested reader with succinct material from which he may be able to derive a summary view of a broad subject. In the hOpe that my work may prove useful to some people who are interested in the theme I have endeavored to reveal the truth and be as objective as possible. -

Zionism and the Nakba: the Mainstream Narrative, the Oppressed Narratives, and the Israeli Collective Memory
イスラーム世界研究 第 3 巻 1 号(2009 年 7 月)89–107 頁 Zionism and the Nakba Kyoto Bulletin of Islamic Area Studies, 3-1 (Jully 2009), pp.89–107 Zionism and the Nakba: The Mainstream Narrative, the Oppressed Narratives, and the Israeli Collective Memory MORI Mariko* The Israelis call what happened in Palestine in 1948 “the War of Independence” (Milhemet ha-‘atzma’ut) whereas the Palestinians refer to it as “al-Nakba” (the catastrophe). The contrast between these two names is telling, for it reveals the presence of two conflicting memories of 1948, Jewish and Palestinian, which are not politically equal. While Israel has consistently justified the establishment of the Jewish state in its official narrative, it has rarely mentioned the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem and the destruction of over 400 Palestinian villages in 1948, thus deliberately denying Palestinian memories of the Nakba. Only in the late 1980s was this denial criticized and the rewriting of the 1948 history started by the New Historians, who dramatically shattered longstanding myths of the 1948 War and the Palestinian exodus. Against this historical background, I try to explain how the Nakba has been addressed in the Israeli (Zionist) mainstream narrative in order to shed a light on the basic logic and assumptions underlying the mainstream narrative of the Palestinian exodus. I shall also explore the dissident narratives related to the Nakba, which have long been neglected due to their contradictions with the mainstream narrative, and reflect on the meaning of the new narratives from the late 1980s to the present. -
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Ilan Pappe
PRAISE FOR THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE ‘Ilan Pappe is Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.’ —John Pilger ‘Ilan Pappe has written an extraordinary book of profound relevance to the past, present, and future of Israel/Palestine relations.’ —Richard Falk, Professor of International Law and Practise, Princeton University ‘If there is to be real peace in Palestine/Israel, the moral vigour and intellectual clarity of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine will have been a major contributor to it.’ —Ahdaf Soueif, author of The Map of Love ‘This is an extraordinary book – a dazzling feat of scholarly synthesis and Biblical moral clarity and humaneness.’ —Walid Khalidi, Former Senior Research Fellow, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Harvard University ‘Fresh insights into a world historic tragedy, related by a historian of genius.’ —George Galloway MP ‘Groundbreaking research into a well-kept Israeli secret. A classic of historical scholarship on a taboo subject by one of Israel’s foremost New Historians.’ —Ghada Karmi, author of In Search of Fatima ‘Ilan Pappe is out to fight against Zionism, whose power of deletion has driven a whole nation not only out of its homeland but out of historic memory as well. A detailed, documented record of the true history of that crime, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine puts an end to the Palestinian “Nakbah” and the Israeli “War of Independence” by so compellingly shifting both paradigms.’ —Anton Shammas, Professor of Modern Middle Eastern Literature, University of Michigan ‘An instant classic. Finally we have the authoritative account of an historic event, which continues to shape our world today, and drives the conflict in the Middle East. -

Determining Emotions and the Burden of Proof in Investigative
This is the accepted version of an article accepted for publication in Comparative Studies in Society and History Vol. 59 No.2, 385-414 published by Cambridge University Press. Published version available at: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0010417517000081 Accepted version available from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/23002/ Determinin g Emotion s and the Burden of Proof in Investigative Commission s to Palestine Lori A. Allen Department of Anthropology and Sociology SOAS University of London Abstract: The conflict in Palestine has been the subject of numerous international investigative commissions over the past century. These have been dispatched by governments to determine the causes of violence and how to reach a resolution. Commissions both produce and reflect political epistemologies, the social processes and categories by which proof and evidence are produced and mobilized in political claim-making. Using archival and ethnographic sources, my analysis focuses on three investigative commissions—the King-Crane (1919), Anglo-American (1946), and Mitchell (2001) commissions—that show how “reading affect” has been a diagnostic of political worthiness. Through these investigations, western colonial agents and “the international community” have given Palestinians false hope that discourse and reason were the appropriate and effective mode of politics. Rather than simply reason, however, it was always an impossible balance between the rational and the emotional that was required. This essay explores the ways that affect as a diagnostic of political worthiness has worked as a technology of rule in imperial orders, and has served as an unspoken legitimating mechanism of domination. 1 This is the accepted version of an article accepted for publication in Comparative Studies in Society and History Vol.
