Modernizing palestinian women: Between colonialism and nationalism-reflections on the 1960s and 1970s

Abstract

It is commonplace to read in many of the Israeli academic and quasi-academic works on Palestinian society that Israeli policies led to new economic and social openings for Palestinian women (Lavine 1982; Maoz 1984; Semyonov 1994, among others). The assessment immediately below reflects a typical account of how the Israeli administration modernized Palestinian women. 2018 selection and editorial matter, Chen Jian, Martin Klimke, Masha Kirasirova, Mary Nolan, Marilyn Young and Joanna Waley-Cohen; individual chapters, the contributors.
