Palestine in the World
Edited by Sorcha Thomson, Roskilde University, Denmark & Pelle Valentin Olsen, Roskilde University, Denmark Bringing together scholars with versatile linguistic and interdisciplinary skills, Palestine in the World puts the Palestinian movement into conversation with the models of transnational politics that emerged through the revolutionary period. By treating the Palestinian revolution as a world phenomenon - with cases from Cuba, France, the US, the GDR, Japan and more – this volume reveals the forms of solidarity that shaped the rise of the movement and their afterlives today. It illuminates the rich connected histories of international solidarity that positioned the Palestinian movement as an iconic anticolonial struggle.

The Jewish Agency and Syria during the Arab Revolt
Secret Meetings and Negotiations
Mahmoud Muhareb, The Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies, Doha, Qatar This book reveals that a multitude of secret meetings took place between the Jewish Agency and Syrian leaders and elites during the early 20th century that change how we should understand the trajectory of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Based mainly on primary sources from Israeli archives, including documentation of discussions, reports and decisions taken by the JA leadership, the book tells a new story of a critical period of history, the Great Palestinian Revolt of 1936-1939, and the impact of the connections between the JA and Syria.

Decolonial Solidarity in Palestine-Israel
Settler Colonialism and Resistance from Within
Teodora Todorova, University of Warwick, UK Through the analytical lens of settler colonial studies, this book examines the impact of Israeli scholars’ and civil society activists’ new ‘decolonial solidarity’ with Palestine through case studies of three activist groups: Zochrot, Anarchists Against the Wall, and the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). In doing so, Todorova extends the framework of settler colonial studies beyond scholarly analysis and into the realm of activist practice. She also looks at how decolonial solidarity has shaped, and been influenced by, the writings of both Palestinian and Israeli theorists. The book shows that new forms of civil society activism, bringing together Palestinian and Israeli activists, can rejuvenate the resistance to occupation and the Israeli state’s growing authoritarianism.

Documentary Cinema in IsraelPalestine
Performance, the Body, the Home
Shirly Bahar With the upsurge in violence that came with the outbreak of the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, a new wave of documentaries emerged that centered on Palestinian and Mizrahim experiences of pain and oppression under Israeli occupation and the mainstream Israelidominated public realm. This book explores how Palestinians and Mizrahim perform this entangled experience of oppression on screen. Analysing key documentary films from the era of the Second Intifada, Shirly Bahar offers a nuanced reading of the cinematic corpus emerging from Israel and Palestine, as well as the nature of Zionist policy over the lived experience of Palestinian and Mizrahim citizens of the Israeli state and its occupied territories.
