Reviews'Remembering and Imagining Palestine , like Gerber's other works, males a valuable contribution to the field. Its arguments, which go beyond the those of Rashid Khalidi, are substantiated by his impressive bibliography which includes previously unknown Arabic praise literature from the Mamluks and Ottomans.' - Vivian Ibrahim, Nations and Nationalism

Table Of ContentIntroduction The Wider Historical and Theoretical Context ... Elements of Palestinian-Arab Identity in the Past The Formative Period: 1918-1922 From Riots to Radicalization: 1922-1936 The Great Rebellion and its Aftermath Palestinian Ideology Palestinian Nationalism after 1948 Summary and Conclusion

SynopsisRemembering and Imagining Palestine sets out to explore the history of Palestinian identity and nationalism. It was found that this identity actually goes back to the time of the Crusades, if not earlier. Of course, then it was a social rather than political identity; two major elements of which were a community of fear formed around the possible return of the Crusades, and Palestine as the name of the country. Later, this traditional identity exerted influence on the way Palestinian nationalism came into being after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Later still, the mixture of old memories and new imaginings created amongst the Palestinians a sort of ethnic election: they became conscious that they were elected by God to serve as guards of the holy sites of Jerusalem for the entire world of Islam. This book shows that this idea was and remains the main driving force of Palestinian nationalism to the present day., The book sets out to explore the history of Palestinian nationalism by asking if there were historical antecedents of this identity prior to the twentieth century, and whether this nationalism existed on every social level. It argues that such identity, or a kind of popular nationalism, did exist, aroused by the memory of the Crusades, the Holy Land, and the term Palestine.
