2001 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title
As'ad Ghanem provides a comprehensive description of the political development of the Palestinian-Arab minority in Israel and also discusses their social, cultural, and economic experiences. Covering two main aspects of politics-the different manifestations of politics and the dilemmas created by these politics-he presents the predicament of the Palestinian-Arab minority in Israel, which derives from the ethnic character of the State of Israel and their isolation from other Palestinians, and proposes the Israeli-Palestinian bi-national state as a suitable resolution not only for this problem but also for the main Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
"A thorough treatment of the various political currents in the Israeli-Arab sector. Ghanem combines documentary evidence and personal interviews to provide insight into the complex working of core political movements among the Arab minority in Israel." — Elia Zureik, author of The Palestinians in Israel: A Study in Internal Colonialism
"A solid and important work that presents a more thorough analysis of the politics of this Palestinian-Arab community than any of the other comparable studies." — Donna Robinson Divine, author of Politics and Society in Ottoman Palestine: The Arab Struggle for Survival and Power
