dawshah 's review for:
The Palestinians: From Peasants to Revolutionaries
by Rosemary Sayigh
Providing a unique history of Palestinian people from a lens that incorporates class with direct quotes and stories from Palestinians living in refugee camps, Sayigh gives a new spin to the nonfiction space of books on Palestine. The time periods covered in this book are also very well picked. I really enjoyed learning more about the peasant/fallah population while in Palestine and how that identity was carried on into the camps through the immediate post-Nakba period and then after into the revolutionary periods. My only issue is the use of words like Uprooting and Dispersion as replacements for Nakba and Exile, was confused by that choice.
