ABSTRACT

The story we have unfolded in this book has been centered around the differential, unequal, and still far from complete process of “elevation” into the “nation” established prior to 1948 by the Zionist settlers in Palestine, of the “ready-made” post-1948 peuble, composed of Israeli Palestinians and the Jews of Arab lands, each of whom had been, prior to 1948, “nations in the making” in their own capacity.
