Half a Century of Narrating Palestine: The Journal of Palestine Studies Turns Fifty
The last half century has been one of both significant gains and tremendous reversals for the question of Palestine. It has also been one of tenacious endurance, with the propagation of the Palestinian cause across the globe.
Celebrating fifty years of uninterrupted publication, the Journal of Palestine Studies (JPS) issues this special collection, made up of sixteen articles spanning five decades of knowledge production. The articles, speaking equally to the scholarly community and to the informed general reader, cover a range of themes, including the political economy of Palestine, capitalism, the turning points in Palestinian Ottoman history, and the making of modern Palestine in politics, the law, and grassroots resistance, as well as Israel’s colonial project. Their authors include such luminaries as Sara Roy, Yusif A. Sayigh, Salim Tamari, Jonathan Kuttab, Norman Finkelstein, Gene Sharp, and Alexander Schölch.
These sixteen articles narrating Palestine were the selections of a group of notable scholars who authored a series of essays under the banner, “Hidden Gems and Greatest Hits,” launching JPS’s fiftieth anniversary year as the journal of record on Palestinian affairs.
