Citizen Strangers: Palestinians and the Birth of Israel's Liberal Settler State - Paperback

by Shira N. Robinson (Author)

Set during the first two decades of Israeli statehood when Palestinians who managed to remain after 1948 lived under a repressive military regime, Citizen Strangers examines how Arabs and Jews navigated the opposing impulses of exclusion and inclusion in a new state forced by new international norms to grant citizenship and suffrage rights to its unwanted native minority.
