Manna uses oral histories and Palestinian and Israeli archives, diaries, and memories to meticulously reconstruct the social history of the Palestinians who remained and returned to become Israeli citizens. This book focuses in particular on the Galilee, using the story of Manna's own family and their village Majd al-Krum after the establishment of Israel to shed light on the cruelties faced by survivors of the military regime. While scholars of the Palestinian national movement have often studied Palestinian resistance to Israel as related to the armed struggle and the cultural struggle against the Jewish state, Manna shows that remaining in Israel under the brutality of occupation and fighting to return to Palestinian communities after displacement are acts of heroism in their own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Institute for Palestine Studies extends our sincere appreciation to Samir Abdulhadi for his generous support of the translation and publication of this book. \u003cbr\u003e Translation by Jenab Tutunji.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contrast with the majority of works on the war of 1948 and its refugees, this book attempts to answer on major question: why did a substantial number of Palestinian Arabs manage to remain in their homes, or in neighboring villages in the Galilee, while the rest of their countrymen where dislocated and expelled?
