description: Recent events have dealt the Palestinians a series of major blows that have discredited their leaders &amp; apparently sidelined their cause in the shifting sands of Middle Eastern politics. But as the authors argue, the Palestinians may have reached a breakthrough in their long-standing impasse with Israel, as a new generation of leaders may be willing to abandon anti-Zionism.MapsAcknowledgmentsA Note on TransliterationIntroductionPart 1 From Revolt to Revolt: The Encounter with the European World &amp; Zionism1 The Revolt of 1834 &amp; the Making of Modern Palestine2 The City: Between Nablus &amp; Jaffa3 Jerusalem: Notables &amp; Nationalism4 The Arab Revolt, 1936-39Part 2 Dispersal5 The Meaning of DisasterPart 3 Reconstituting the Palestinian Nation6 The Odd Man Out: Arabs in Israel7 Dispersal, 1948-678 The Feday: Rebirth &amp; Resistance9 Steering a Path Under OccupationA Chronological List of Major Events in Palestinian HistoryNotesA Note on the JacketIndex
