Summary:	This collection of 39 documents covers a time span from 1830 to 2000 and is about the Palestinians, Arabs who are a mixture of pre-Israelite and other groups and who settled in Palestine. Until 1948 the country of Palestine occupied an area east of the Mediterranean that is now occupied by Israel and Jordan. The creation of the state of Israel created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. The classic ethnographies of Arab village life during the British Mandate period are a two-volume set by Granquist, who did her fieldwork in the late 1920s and Shimon, who covers a period from the turn of the century to 1946. Granquist wrote an additional two-volume monograph on the Arab child, which includes discussions of child-rearing practices and familial relationships. Other work done in this period are by Canaan on spirits and shrines, Haddad on guest houses, and Loftus on illegal Arab immigration. Community studies carried out in the early post-1948 period include Lutfiyya's study of a Palestinian village in Jordan, circa 1960, and two studies on Palestinian communities in Israel. Rosenfeld wrote a series of articles around this period on social change, visiting patterns, and marriage patterns. Two comprehensive books on more technical subjects are Atran on the Palestinian land tenure system and Moors on women's property. Sayigh has written the classic history of the region from the Palestinian point of view. The rest of the works in this collection are published after 1989 and are influenced by the intifada (1987-present). Most of them are based on research conducted in the Occupied Territories. Swedenburg examines how elderly freedom fighters remembered the Great Revolt (1936-1939). He also wrote an article on how peasants became the symbol of the national movement. Two books address the relationship between the national, trade, and women's movements. The latter reference is the only source in the collection based on research carried out in southern Lebanon. Abdulhadi wrote an article on the women's movement. Other women's issues discussed in context of the resistance are family planning, a book by Kanaaneh, and articles on motherhood and the wearing of the hajib. Three articles focus on male activist youth, or shebab. Other articles examine the influence of the resistance on folksongs, religious and secular ceremonies, identity, cultural values, and spirit possession. Three books examine Israeli-Palestinian relations in Israel and across the Green Line. Finally, Monterescu has written an article on men, manhood, and café life in Jaffa.
